Wow, that is lot of plastic. I’m hope you carried it back.

I have stopped packing in that way after I weigh the plastic after a long trip. I guess you have 1-2kg of plastic. That might be ten percent of the total weight!

I prefer to pack I larger sealed bags, and measure the the correct amount each time. We carry 650g per person and day.

Harry, you could burn all of that plastic trash otherwise its ending up in a landfill somewhere or getting shipped to china for recycling.

Some people are very sensitive to burning trash Justin. And the plastic theoretically could be recycled.
