After nearly 2.5 years nomading, which items spark joy?
A gaming laptop. Actual good thermal management, high quality screen, and mechanical keyboard blows prosumer laptops out of the water for productivity.
Nexstand laptop stand plus compact keyboard and mouse turns a large screen laptop into a passable desktop replacement. Ergonomics are important.
A nalgene water bottle wrapped in cloth tape doubles as a foam roller. Super useful for meditation retreats.
Kuhl konfidant air pants have low profile vents and are the only long pants I actually like wearing.
Columbia Ascender is a hooded soft shell that serves as a light jacket in spring but pulls double duty as the top layer in winter. I get by with this one jacket.
Bamboo rayon shirts and underwear. I get the cheap David Archy ones off amazon.
Packing cubes live up to the hype.
Grifiti band wallet replacement. Holds a few cards and a spare $20 which is all I need.
Altra Escalante, very long lived, very comfortable. I replaced the laces with elastic so they are slip on.
Remington HC4250 Beard trimmer. Actually works. If you’ve used trimmers before you know that’s saying something.
Imported japanese toothpaste that has hydroxyapatite. It’s under patent dispute in the USA. Remineralizes teeth.
Imported japanese toothpaste that has hydroxyapatite. It’s under patent dispute in the USA. Remineralizes teeth.
+ 1 on this one. Hope the availability does not disappear. But it also seems hydroxypatite is available on its own so one might be able to just add to any toothpaste.

Hanging toiletries kit. Keeps everything organized.
Linen towel. Packs very small, but unlike microfiber towels is naturally antimicrobial.

it looks like a more widely available brand picked it up. Not sure if the patent dispute was resolved or what: https://www.dentist.net/products/dr-collins-biomin-toothpaste?variant=31738328416327&dfw_tracker=8011-31738328416327
