  • There are many things to consider when packing for your trip to Iceland. And you may be wondering if you should bring something or leave it at home.I went through hundreds of comments from tourists that have already been to Iceland and compiled a list of things people regretted bringing the most. These are not 6 specific items but rather 6 different categories of items.

    I literally laughed out loud about the waterproof phone. Five years ago I dropped my phone in a river of meltwater while hiking on/through Vatnajokull. I noticed about 20 minutes later, and my guide allowed me to run back and make a quick look for it. I found it, rinsed it off in some clean melt dripping from the overhead, and it worked like a champ. My guide joked that I may well have been the first person in the world to lose my phone in a glacial melt river, find it, and still have it work after the fact.

    Leaving for our first trip to Iceland in six weeks for our first twelve day visit and this is EASILY the most entertaining video of the 50 or so I have watched over the last two months. I want to buy you a drink, SEVERAL drinks, when we get there. This was AWESOME! And that's from a retired drug cop who also fully appreciates the weed nonsense. Such a perfect miss of comical and practical information combined. Well done sir. Well done. I applaud you.

    "So many people fail to do basic research to head to Iceland"...Ain't that the truth!! I have been prepping for my Iceland trip for 5 months, and I have come across people that ask if they need waterproof or windproof items for Iceland a couple of days in advance of their trip lol

    I thoroughly enjoyed seeing other tourists using their walking sticks fiercely, in the middle of Reykjavik. Tell you what though, some woollen base layers was the best thing I brought. Didn't need to wash them at all and they didn't smell.

    • @TimeWarpIceland
      @TimeWarpIceland  Před rokem

      Yes, these whool sweaters are almost like magic. Definitely bring one of you have it or buy one in Iceland. But try it first. For some they itch like crazy. I can't wear them. The one I have is not sheep whool but something much softer. Can't remember what exactly.

    30$ for daily food? you mean as in groceries form the super market? That's insane! I can have a ribeye at a fancy steakhouse for that price.
    Can I bring 10 litres of olive oil? That'll get me through a year.
    And what does Icelandic law say about owning, say, 5 chickens? Always wanted to do that.

    • @TimeWarpIceland
      @TimeWarpIceland  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Haha yea it's expensive. But highly dependent on the exchange rate and how much you eat I suppose. You can probably eat for less and it's fine owning chickens but they are probably expensive too. At least the live ones. 😅
