It’s in the summer, with a friend, for about two weeks. I’m going to sleep in hostels or camp out.
Can you think of anything less so obvious I should take with me? What should I take to eat? (remember, two weeks)
I can’t carry too much, as I’ll be on a bike and I can think of all the obvious things – bike, sleeping bag, bike repair kit, first aid kit etc.
I’ll give best answer to either the most innovative, unexpected, unusual YET HELPFUL idea, or the longest useful list.
Thank you!

I have a 5 month old whom has only been no more than 2 hours away from home since birth.
She will be experiencing my side of the family for the first time who are approx. 6 hours from home. The trip will be a 3-4day stay. My wife insists on bring practically everything except the crib for the trip (exersaucer, toys, bouncy chair, play mat, etc.etc.)
Keep in mind we also have to fit our stuff in this (4days worth of clothing for the both of us, toiletries, cold weather gear for outdoor activities. Not to mention, the babies clothing and blankets and other bare essentials)
Top it all off it has to fit in a Toyota Matrix with a mid size non-rigid cartop carrier. Tried looking into renting a mid-size SUV/mini-van for the trip…prices are almost as much as it would for me to fly home. I want to go as light as possible.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Besides the tent, sleeping bags etc; is there something new that you could recommend (quirky but not silly)
