I travel with a DSLR, a laptop, some external hard disks, etc. They always stay either in my shoulder/lap when travelling, or the hostel locker (which doesn't stop the hostel employees stealing your stuff). The cloths themselves are cheaper ones bought off during the trip. Never had nothing stolen (except a pick pocket situation that I was an idiot). | |

| Oct 11, 2016 at 4:21 | comment | added | Johnny | I think you're giving conflicting advice: "Don't put cash or anything valuable in your main pack" "Split your cash and cards and put some in your main pack". I wouldn't keep even a credit card in my main pack if it's going to be unattended in a luggage rack - the last thing I want to do when I don't have reliable phone/internet service is to deal with trying to cancel my card, reverse fradulent payments, and arrange to have a replacement card sent when I may not even know what town I'll be in next. | |
