Brock Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 How many pairs do the gentlemen take with them when on tour? I've been working away during the week for the last three years. The missus insisted on doing the laundry so I had a week's worth of clean pants, a week's worth of pants in the laundry, and some spares and old favourites just in case. Now I'm back home, and effectively retired, the missus wants me to throw out spares and the old faithfuls to reduce the number of pairs. I have the same problem with shirts and socks but I can easily ditch most of those I used for work. Also, if need be, I can do two days in a shirt or pair of socks. So what is the right number of pants to take when we go away for more than three weeks+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spospe Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Two weeks worth (14 pairs for both male and female). We do the washing at weekends and this number gives us a reserve supply in case of difficulty in finding a suitable site with a washing machine and drier.

bolero boy Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 There is no answer to this one, really. If you wash clothes regularly then you can carry less clothes. Pants can always be washed in the van and dried fairly easily. I'm guessing that 10 pairs would be more than enough if you are planning to do washing but if your trip is, say for a couple of weeks and you are not planning to wash stuff, then a pair a day does for me. What else can you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 ips - 2013-09-02 11:58 AM one pair of everything for up to 7 days then its wash them in shower :-D Do you take them off first - or just come out of the shower, spin round and fall over to spin and tumble dry 'em?

ips Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 The latter (lol) But I make sure the front blinds are down whilst doing so. These C&CC lot are very particular about such frivolity you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Ten but could do with a lot less I guess, and that goes for T Shirts, shorts etc..etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs T Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Mr T only takes one spare of everything and washes them in the shower as he goes, a couple of years ago he went to Australia for 3 months on two separate occasions and that was the same. One change of everything so simple and no cost when passing through airports. He cycled hundreds of miles plus busses and taxis, all with a simple small bag. ALL HAND BAGGAGE = no hassle no waiting no problem ! PS. He buys all his clothes which are mostly of man-made fibres and never need the iron on them. I thought campers were beings of little and often ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crinklystarfish Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 A while spent push-bike touring has shaped my views. My position regarding underpants is even simpler than Mr T and I have eliminated the need to worry about such things. Life is already complex enough. Members of the forum may deduce as they please. For the rest of the stuff, similar to Mr T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
