    It's kit list time :)

    Just remembered one other very useful item I always carry for if my rucksack rubs on the shoulders. I carry a few sanitary towels (ones with wings) they weigh nothing and have been a godsend in past, put the pad over the blister/hotspot and use the wings to stick it down. Have used them for this...

    Socks

    I have used British army desert coolmax socks for hot weather in my boots and they have never given me any problems.

    Carry-on Size

    It isn't ridiculous at all. You ain't alone worrying about it. I don't go for another three months and I'm exactly the same. To the point I very nearly paid to have my bag in hold.
