Amazon.com: Travel stuff I like that can withstand abuse and long trips

Travel stuff I like that can withstand abuse and long trips
A Listmania! list by N. Hawkins "whereishawkins" (Chicago)
The list author says: "I'm like you - I read the lists and buy products that look cool but turn out to be crap. Here's my list of items that survived many international travels and are worth their weight in gold. (updated April 2011)"

Canon PowerShot S95 10 MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD

1. Canon PowerShot S95 10 MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD by Canon

The list author says:
	"I absolutely adore this camera. The fast f/2 lens makes low-light shooting a breeze. Plus for those insist on shooting in RAW and being anal about how you handle your photos, this is one of the few point/shoot cameras that support it."

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD - Black

2. Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD - Black by Panasonic

The list author says:
	"The "travel zoom" cameras are impressive and keep getting better by the day. The major selling point for this camera is that it has a GPS included, so when you press the shutter, it records the location. Why? Ever go on a day trip and zoom by things and forget where you were? I have - but not any longer."

3. ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1215N-PU17-SL 12.1-Inch Netbook (Silver) by Asus

The list author says:
	"I decided to upgrade my 10" netbook to 12" for the bigger keyboard and larger screen real estate. Watch movies, edit photos and keep in touch with friends and family while on the road. I've used this to upload photos to Facebook, used Skype to call home and keep in touch with the world when I'm on the other side of it."

5. ExOfficio Men's Give-N-Go Boxer Brief by ExOfficio

The list author says:

Duct Tape 2 x 50-inch Rolls by Adventure Medical Kits

10. Duct Tape 2 x 50-inch Rolls by Adventure Medical Kits by Adventure Medical Kits

The list author says:
	"Instead of buying these, take a old ball point pen (or stolen hotel pen) and wrap duct tape around them. It comes in handy, but why spend $7 on these when you can buy a real roll for $4?"

11. Kindle Keyboard 3G, Free 3G + Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Display by Amazon

The list author says:
	"The Kindle is self-explanatory. I use the 3G functionality to buy books while abroad and use the Experimental Browser for checking email (ssssh!!!) when I can't find a WiFi hotspot. Plus I love it. I've been reading so much more since I got my Kindle. And it keeps the weight of your bag down."

14. Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx Handheld GPS Navigator by Garmin

The list author says:
	"IMO, the best GPS money can buy. I've dropped this in water, kicked it down streets and beaten it severely, and it still works flawlessly. Plus it uses AA batteries, so bring spares."

15. Pacsafe Pouch, 100 Anti-Theft Neck Pouch by Pacsafe

The list author says:
	"Keep your passport, money and other stuff in a secure pouch. But don't wear it around your neck - I'm a big guy and I wore it around my waist under my pants - so there's enough length on the cord to put it anywhere."

Aquamira Frontier Emergency Water Filter System

18. Aquamira Frontier Emergency Water Filter System by McNett

The list author says:
	"You laugh, but when you are somewhere off the beaten path and you can't find bottled water, go with a filtration straw to filter out all the stuff that will make you sick. This won't save you from everything, but this is a "last resort" straw."

BlackBerry Bold 9700 Phone (T-Mobile)

19. BlackBerry Bold 9700 Phone (T-Mobile) by BlackBerry

The list author says:
	"Why the Blackberry from T-Mobile? In addition to being your Email lifeline, the UMA calling allows using a wifi hotspot to make calls as if you were back in the US. I've used it on 6 continents to call home (plus send the "wish you were here" picture messages.)"

20. Shure SE110 Sound Isolating Earphone with Balanced Armature Driver (Black) by Shure

The list author says:
	"Between planes/trains/ferries/bus, white noise is what will suck your energy dry. Plug these into your laptop or mp3 player, and shut out the outside world. Note: They don't have to be these specific ones, but noise canceling headphones rock."

21. Suunto A-10 Compass by Suunto

The list author says:

Campsuds

22. Campsuds by Camp

The list author says:
	"At some point, you'll have to wash clothes and your body. Campsuds work great and leave you smelling decent and feeling better. Hint: Buy the big one and pour it into smaller bottles to get past the 3 oz rule for airline security. Plus it's cheaper."
