The Indie Travel Podcast brings you a rather specialist review: the Eagle Creek Pack-it System. This isn’t an essential piece of travel equipment for most backpackers, but if you have to change between work or special occaisions and bed-bugs and beads it might come in handy. The packing system aims to eliminate the need for an iron by keeping things folded and seperate from the rest of your luggage. It fits well against the back of a pack or into a suitcase, but it is probably heavier than it needs to be.

Unfortunately Linda had to record the whole show herself this week, since Craig has lost his voice - an occupational hazzard of teachers and podcasters, I fear!
