Honestly. Who doesn't like the feel of silk against their skin?

Taking into account there may be a time when I end up in less than ideal conditions, or feel the need for that one extra layer, I went to eBay and invested $10 plus shipping in a silk liner bag, which I affectionately refer to as my Body Bag. Folded within its own matching carrier sack, it measures all of 7"x7" and scarcely takes up any room at all.

Being a musician, I have a natural propensity for buying everything in black--black shoes, black dresses, black trousers, blouses and sweaters. It's an cccupational hazard. Imagine my surprise when this rather pleasant teal sack appeared in this itty bitty package from Vietnam. Delightful. It should be quite easy to find in the dark recesses of my rucksack. Unlike my black Eagle Creek medium sized zip envelope which currently holds three long sleeved tee shirts and two sweaters. Keeps everything tidy--which oddly enough doesn't bare any resemblance to the rest of my life.

Now, on to pack the rest of the essentials. Leaving in 4 days.
