Editor’s Insight
The folks at Pack Hacker, especially Tom Wahlin, continue to raise the bar with their 2025 update to The Ultimate Digital Nomad Packing List. This isn’t just a gear dump—it’s a battle-tested blueprint for efficient, stylish, and minimalist travel.
What stands out in this iteration is the precision behind every selection. Nothing is thrown in without a clear purpose. The pack focuses on compactness, versatility, and tech compatibility—every item plays a role. From the modular packing cubes to the all-USBC tech ecosystem, this is a masterclass in loadout design.
Tom’s choice of the YETI Ranchero Backpack and the Bellroy Venture Ready Sling shows how much thought goes into functionality without sacrificing aesthetic. For EDC heads, these aren’t just travel bags—they’re urban-ready tools built for movement.
Clothing choices lean heavily on merino wool and technical fabrics—great for anti-odor, durability, and layering. Brands like Outlier, Wool & Prince, and Lululemon dominate the core wardrobe, which fits easily into two Peak Design packing cubes. The emphasis on multi-use pieces—like the Outlier Slim Dungarees and Proof Pants—hits the minimalist sweet spot. These aren’t just travel clothes; they’re daily wear for people who demand more from less.
The tech section is equally sharp. The decision to convert the full setup to USBC shows a forward-thinking mindset, cutting clutter and boosting compatibility. The Anker PowerPort, Nightcore battery, and Nextstand laptop riser deliver a mobile office you can drop into any café in the world. Bonus points for including quality-of-life items like the Oura Ring for sleep tracking and the AirFly Pro Deluxe for in-flight audio convenience.
Toiletries also reflect Pack Hacker’s deep testing roots—compact, TSA-compliant, and designed for long stays. Items like the Matador soap case and reusable toothpaste tubes bring sustainability into the conversation, a refreshing touch.
Small but impactful extras—Orbitkey organizers, collapsible water bottles, micro tools—round out the kit, proving that the best travel setups come from years of real-world refinement.
Massive thanks to Pack Hacker for sharing this with the community—there’s a reason their lists are gospel among digital nomads and EDC lovers alike.
Closing Remarks
Pack Hacker’s 2025 digital nomad kit is the real deal—lean, smart, and loaded with intentional choices for today’s mobile lifestyle. Whether you’re on a beach in Bali or bouncing between coworking spaces in Lisbon, this setup delivers performance without compromise.
