What odd homely thing do you have to take with you on long trips for comfort?
A suitcase full of baked beans? A small jar of Marmite? Sachets of HP sauce? The Daily Mail?
Me...when they were still broadcasting more widely, was my little Shortwave radio, a penguin classic and a buff.
You?
Nothing really, I adapt to whatever is available locally.

I have sent some ahead by post, before now. It's not heavy, but quite bulky.
Mini carbon monoxide sensor
Mini telescope
Compass
Teabags
Tetley tea bags........try getting a decent strong cup of tea in some god-forsaken semi-civilised foreign country. I also like to pack an umbrella. And my trusty folding Panama hat.
lighter, spare lighter, decoy lighter for customs chappies. and several packs of silver rizla scattered throughout luggage and clothes just in case.
inflatable pink-mapped globe so I can show 'em who's boss
iPhone. Has music on it, has a camera on it, has an extensive library on it, and has OS maps of the whole of the South of England on it.
A good pair of binoculars.
Anything else is whatever's available locally.
mini radio and always a leatherman!
710g of Morecombe Bay Potted Shrimps
I wouldn't bother smuggling owt 'recreational' these days, with Paranoia Level on purple all the time. Used to be a doddle. Do remember getting a little perturbed in JFK once, with a very thorough sniffer dog paying close attention to my boxed up bike.

condoms and lube , just incase.
Dont you expect him to have his own project?
Habanero Tabasco
iPad
Leatherman (or other quality multitool)
Tea bags (PG of preference)
UHT milk sachets

The rest is just a luxury

Just let me check... Thermos, sandwiches, corn plasters, telephone money, dandruff brush, animal footprint chart and... one triple thick condom. You never know...
Have taken teabags to France on Holiday (with family on camping trip). Moisturiser is always the first thing to be packed
Just my trusty address book, started it 38 yrs ago
Nothing else really bothers me
Walter - he's my hot water bottle. Very well travelled too.

I'm wondering 'why the lube'?

A finely honed sense of English superiority and a feeling of pity tinged with contempt for Johnny Foreigner.*

So it's as I suspected..............you [i]haven't[/i] got an unfeasibly large knob.

I forgot the MP3 player, charger & portable speakers
