How to Pack Carry-On Only for 5 Months! (Multi-Climate Minimalist Packing). Can you really pack for 5 months of travel in completely different climates using only a carry-on bag? In this video, we are sharing our exact minimalist packing list as we prep for 5 months of slow travel through the chilly highlands of inland Mexico and the hot, humid Caribbean! We are living out of just 40L travel packs and 15L daypacks, which means managing strict weight limits while preparing for weather ranging from the chilly 40s to the humid 90s. To make it happen, we’re breaking down the 4 packing secrets we learned from our last trip that completely changed how we pack. What We Cover in This Video: • Lesson 1: Why you must stop packing "just in case" (and how to prioritize your absolute non-negotiables). • Lesson 2: What to buy when you arrive in-country instead of dragging it across borders. • Lesson 3: The game-changing gear we swear by (backpacks, tech, and travel essentials). • Lesson 4: The tiny, unexpected items that make full-time travel so much more comfortable. Whether you're planning a multi-month slow travel adventure, a Caribbean cruise, or just want to learn how to pack lighter, these packing tips will help you travel stress-free with carry-on luggage only.
