I don't know WHERE you're planning on going backpacking and I don't know how much you're planning on roughing it in hostels, but there's not much there that I would have found use for... some suggestions from a salty old backpacker (who travels solo):

*a universal sink plug

*a money belt (the kind that goes under your clothes)

*a katadyn water filter

*a swiss army knife or other good utility knife

*a sarong (or two)

*tubes of laundry liquid (for washing clothes in sinks)

*Lonely Planet guidebooks for the countries/regions you'll be visiting

*ziplock bags (large and medium sizes)

*those hiking pants that you can zip off the bottoms into shorts.

If I think of any job leads, I'll let you know!

And a diary for recording your thoughts and doings!

Definitely! I already have one for England whenever I go! (It says "Keep calm and carry on.) :)

Thanks! Yes, it's not quite a backpacking website. Maybe I'll take the link down once they post it to holiday_wishes. I mostly want the clip-less clothes line from there (a backpacker's dream!). I have or know about most of what you list (yay!), except the clothing. The zip-off pants are a good idea -- I used to have some, but not anymore. I've never had a sarong. I think I'd be scared it would fall off. That happened to my friend once. What makes it a good travel item?

Thanks for the ideas!
