My steemit friends, you may be thinking "Really, you're going to do a post on your nail clippers?". Absolutely! To me they are more than just nail clippers all the items you see here are some of the most valuable things I own. Not like they are worth a lot of money. They obviously are not, but to me they are very valuable.
When you live out of a backpack like I have for the large majority of the past 15 years. You only have space for a certain amount of items. You really have to think about what is important. What can't you live without. What is worth taking everywhere you go. This is what the Travel Pro Gear Series is about. So lets get into our first item now.
Nail Clippers
This is quite self explanatory. Unless you have a serious habit of biting your nails, toes included yuk! My brother actually did that, talk about anxiety issues. Disgusting. Nail clippers are a must have item for anybody. Otherwise how are you going to cut your nails? Never long term travel with out them...Nail Clippers! Check!
USB Charger
This is my USB charger. I use it to charge my camera and my $65 dollar smart phone I bought in Mexico, new! I can also charge these items through my laptop, but sometimes it's more convenient to use this plug-in USB charger. I have used it many times in airports and hotels around the world. I think this actually came with my Chinese made Mexican Phone, and has yet to fail me. Everyone knows how important it is to keep your devices working. It's 2018! Can't travel or live without a USB charger!
Dental Floss
Yes dental floss. You will notice a theme in this series. Products of hygiene. When traveling these kind of items can become invaluable. I actually carry this everywhere I go. That means I keep it in my day bag backpack, when I'm walking around exploring new areas. The worst is getting something stuck in your teeth and you just can't do much about it. By the looks of this dental floss, it's lasted a long time, but I assure you the floss inside is as good as new!

With over 11 years of travel experience I answer travel and international lifestyle questions. Leave a question in the comments and I may make a Steemit post just for you!
All very underrated items! Though I normally carry a penknife or multitool instead of the nail clippers.

Ha ha. Glad this post got your approval. Wasn't sure how it would go over, ya know...as I stated in my first line.
you may be thinking "Really, you're going to do a post on your nail clippers?".
But the way I delivered it I think everyone enjoyed. I'll continue this series.
A lot better of an experiment than my "Travel Quotes!" lol remember that one?
Or how about my "travel quiz." lol. I think you won that one! lol
Wow, a pen knife or multi-tool to cut your nails. That is something I've never thought to try. Seems like a multi use tool is always a good idea. All I can do with my nail clippers is cut my nails!
Thanks for checking in my friend. Hope you are well! -Dan

Your list is very vital.
Like the second item #USB charger, it can be very frustrating when your phone runs down and there is no USB charger with you to give your phone a boost... I almost lets tears outta my eyes when I had that experience
I'll keep in touch with to learn more

I would say that the charger is important but the cable is even more important. You can charge from many different sources other than a dedicated charger, like a computer or most new TVs.

Thanks guys for your comments. Yes all these items to me are vital. @fanstaf, the cable.....I would have included that along with the charger but I guess I see now I took a photo of it separately. When I have that posted in this series I'll make sure to quote you that is can be used in new TV's even though I have not done so, great tip! -Dan

Yes, the nail clipper is very important.. I once had a very long fingernail that bothered me on my travel but did not have a nail clipper.. I managed to get rid of it using my teeth.. lol
Also another thing that is very important is a large capacity power bank.

Ha ha! It's funny how the simple and cheap things like nail clippers and dental floss can be so important as well. As far as the power bank, I don't have one, and am pretty good at keeping my devices charged and having them last throughout the day. Even on long airplane flight there often is a plug to charge from now. Even on buses too I've experienced that.
