so i was wondering what people think about taking electronics with them backpacking. i'm not a person who has to have gadgets with me all the time, but when u get used to snapping photos with a digital camera you dont want to give it up, its nice to have 5000 songs with you everywhere, and if you have a video camera it can give u some lasting memories.
i was just wondering what people think about taking stuff with them backpacking. im contemplating taking stuff with me. to pack my ipod, camera, and videocamera would only add a few pounds to my bag and would allow me alot of options for saving some memories and listening to some good music.
the problem is though, i would hate to have like 1000 dollars worth of electronics with me at all times and in all the hostels im in. i also typically like to be experiencing things and right in the middle of them rather than on the outside taking pictures of them. however, thinking back on it, i would kill to have some video of some of my trips to spain, eastern europe, central america, etc.
some of the stuff is so amazing and you want to remember it forever, and i will remember some of it, but no matter how hard u try some stuff always fades from your memory.
so what do u guys think about carrying a butt load (or at least a butt load worth of $$$) in electronics around with you while backpacking.
