The lady handed in luggage: a sofa, a suitcase, a valise, a painting, a basket, a cardboard box and a small dog.
In continuation of the topic of travel and the downright enchanted number 5, I want to invite you to familiarize yourself with a few more things that can be used not only for their intended purpose. And at the same time lighten your luggage!
1. Dental floss. You can not only brush your teeth with it, but also, for example, use it instead of shoe laces in an emergency. Agree, it's easier to find dental floss somewhere in a tourist area than shoelaces. You can also wrap a leaky faucet or shower with dental floss; tie things with it; using a bag and dental floss, you can make an improvised bottle stopper. And, in my opinion, the most original use of dental floss is cutting for cheese. The author claims that it works much better than a cheese knife. With the caveat that the cheese will be soft enough.
2. Shampoo. Everything is simple here! It can be used as a universal detergent, that is, to wash not only hair, but also dishes, car, hands, use instead of powder, etc. And if you apply shampoo to open areas of the body, then according to some people it will also save you from mosquitoes.
3. A notebook with an elastic band. And it is desirable that the notebook was with a hard cover. Firstly, if the elastic band is good and tight, then nothing will fall out from there, which means you can put a card, tickets, business cards, etc. there. But I would not rely on it completely and would not put important documents there. If it has a small inner pocket, as in moleskins, then nothing will fall out from there for sure (tested on my own experience). And such a notebook can also be used instead of a stand under the leg of a shaky chair-table-bed. Well, paper, after all, is a universal thing to some extent.
4. Multitool (multifunctional tool). That's something, and this is really an irreplaceable thing! And the more different things there are, the better! Scissors, nail file, tweezers, corkscrew, screwdriver, saw knife and other knives, beer opener, etc. - everything fits in a small tool and takes up very little space in luggage. It is desirable that it be of high quality, otherwise it simply will not be of any use (Victorinox, Wenger, etc.). Well, do not forget to put it in your luggage, which is rented if you fly by plane. Otherwise it will have to be left.
5. Heavy-duty pencil case. Special, with a carbine, which is designed for all sorts of unpleasant life situations. You can store your passport, money, jewelry, cards, and mobile phone in it. In general, everything that is dear to you not only spiritually, but also materially. And you can also put food there and nothing will happen to it either. More precisely, it will not happen to other things that will be in the same bag with this pencil case, because it does not leak.
