I’ve used regular ziplocs in the past but it only takes ten minutes for the compression to go away and the air to leak in again."

I love the Ubuntu, I recently carried an Acer AspireOne on a hitchike to the Republican National Convention (for protesting). My first time with a computer, and verizon air card. It was a real joy to have along. I've been brainstorming about a travelers distribution of linux. Any ideas are welcome. I was thinking about the tanktop, and I've conc;luded that though it is fashionable and cool It does not protect from the sun or relax the straps of your pack (but just the opposite)or go from wet to dry, and dry to wet faster than nylon athletic clothing which, 1 doesn't become unfashionably wrinkled ever, 2 dries really really fast, 3 is very light weight. 4 protects your shpoulders from direct hits from the sun. If I'm going to go cool (and I do) I'll just take the shirt off all together. I wear sandals and socks for the same reasons I gave above plus 5, socks protect from biting fire ants and keep your sandals smelling nice.

As a seasoned traveler I recommend ditching the silly money belt in favor of a "hang around the neck" that lays flat under your shirt. Don't put id with your money because cops in some places are corrupt. Although I've been threatened on several occasions with 3rd world prisons, torture and death, I have never given a bribe. I also like a large pack so I can pick things up along the way. I have an external frame (yeah so uncool) kelty3950cu I think. I'm a hitchiker, and the frame serves as a prop upon which to sit. I carry no tent, just a camo tarp and 4 camo chords, skirt for pack, and a poncho. These chords serve as clothes line when needed as well as anything else. Handheld GPS has enabled me to build trails across the world of waypoints of places I have stayed with people and are invited back to. Very good list.

I've tried and trashed lots of socks. Smartwool are pretty good. Bridgedale are better. I'm also a proud owner of a Deuter Futura 28 - I have to agree with you that it's a great pack.
