I nearly contacted Dr. Bronner myself, when I hadn't heard back from you, to get a sample I could review for the blog. I get comments all the time that I delete as spam because they are obvious product promotions that often have nothing whatsoever to do with the article. I don't think they are trying to get money from me, but I do think they are using my blog for free advertisement of their products with absolutely nothing of value (like a solid comment discussing the article) in return. Your comment was relevant to traveling light, so I left it...but I definitely was mistaken in thinkng you were a product pitchman for Dr. Bronner. I apologize and hope you continue reading the blog!

I usually carry with me two sets of clothing and wear one outfit till it smells horrible and then change to the clean one while washing the dirty one. Happy traveling in the Pacific Rim!

I think that's what the FAA/TSA is requiring for commercial flight screening. I can't imagine a quality soap that is used for brushing teeth AND washing the body AND washing hair AND doing laundry...but if you send me a sample, I'd be happy to write a review. Gordon, thanks for posting, and nice job sneaking in a plug for your product! haha

I am on a never ending quest to reduce the backpack too! Dr Bronner soaps are all in one organic soaps which can be used for toothpaste, shampoo, soap and doing your laundry. It would cut down on a bunch of space check it out http://www.drbronner.com/ Nice list. I am on a never ending quest to reduce the backpack too!
