I have talked to a few people on this sub that would like to try zero baggage, but haven’t done it yet. What advice would you give them for their very first trip?

My advice is:

Choose a low stakes trip

A low stakes trip:

* is of short duration
* doesn’t have a large financial outlay
* is near several stores

This allows you to fail with low consequences. You haven’t lost much time or money. You have stores if you forgot/need a critical item. This helps relieve the “what if” fears stopping some people.

So to those of you that have actually zero bagged - what would you advise a first timer?
