As the years go by, I find I bring fewer clothes, but more "stuff". Random stuff like duct tape, set of silverware, small pack of laundry detergent, extension cord, candle, swiss army knife, etc. I know this is all stuff I can by in JA, but its nice to have a few items like this ready to go in case something comes up. I may not use it all every trip, but I have used all this "stuff" at some point in my travels and thought "man I am glad I brought this".
