clothes depends on the journey really, like now I'm in Idaho and wouldent dare leave without being loaded down... then getting someplace warm I would ditch some and save some but my entire wardrobe would change

My current total clothing kit includes:

1 x jean shorts
2 x leggings
3 x pairs of socks
3 x shirts
1 x athletic shorts
1 x pair of boots
2 x bras
1 x sweatshirt
1 x rain jacket
1 x down puffer jacket

Every time I set off I usually leave with 2 shirts and end up picking another up along the way :p so it's technically about 3 complete outfits. Works good for me, then I have the athletic shorts and a shirt to wear when I'm washing/drying the rest of my clothes

When traveling over seas for work, I have packed everything I needed in my messenger bag. Ended up doing laundry every third or fourth day.

Wear
- one complete set of clothes (business casual)

Packed
- 1 pair pants
- 3 hang up shirts
- 3 changes of underwear and socks

Left limited options for evenings, but I was able to stay pretty comfortable for weeks in an office environment without getting too funky.

This was for traveling in SE Asia and I really wanted to avoid checking luggage.

I also had two laptops and other office equipment in a bag that fit easily in the overhead compartment of the plane.

When back packing, I usually only bring a change of base layers and a pair or two extra socks to save on weight. I can air out alternate days of base layers to keep them from getting too rank. Haven't been out on any super long term hikes.

For car camping, it's about the same as the business attire, except for something more appropriate for camping. Again, doing laundry every few days is good. Can go months with just two or three changes of clothes

Checking luggage is the WORST! I haven't checked a bag since the 90's. There's lots of things you can acquire for cheap or free at your destination anyway, so packing one backpack is typically all I ever do. Two laptops? Oh man, I was living that life for a while. I actually had 3 at one point, ugh! Hopefully all I ever carry now is 1.

i used to go commando until i split a pair of pants right down the middle at a skatepark

That's why I almost always wear underwear. Had it a few times that I sat down with legs crossed and ended up with a huge rip in the crotch area.

Worst experience with going commando was with a pair of sweatpants with age-worn elastic. I don't like sweatpants anyway, but those were really bad. They fell down to my ankles a few times. (Luckily I was more or less alone then.) Was really happy as I got jeans again (and underwear) ...
