CLOTHES: a minimalist approach

What clothes are absolutely necessary as a freedom traveler? For myself, I'm thinking of the following:
1. One pair of blue jeans
2. One pair of cargo pants
3. One pair of shorts
4. One pair of swim trunks
5. 2 gray undershirts (in my case with a pocket to hold my glasses)
6. 3 pairs of underwear
7. One dress shirt for churchin' it up
8. 2 short-sleeved shirts
9. 2 long-sleeved shirts
10. Hooded sweat shirt
11. Pair of sweat pants
12. 3 pairs of white socks (same size and brand)
13. 3 pairs of black socks (same size and brand)

Footwear and coats/jackets will be discussed on separate posts.

Any thoughts? Any recommendations? Is this enough? Is this too much?

IS IT ANY WONDER?

We're trying to integrate an "organic" approach to health, education, nutrition, politics, religion, and basically life in our quest for freedom and peace. Sometimes one has to strike at the roots.

Moving up and out

     Coffee in hand this cold but sunny early April morning, I'm beginning a new blog site about the new life we have chosen for ourselves. On February 18th, 2013 I retired from clinical practice and moved into academia. Due to the blessings of modern technology, I am able to educate without being tied down to any particular location. So our family has decided to take this show on the road.
     I started this blog to not only chart our progress but to also get advice from those who have gone before us and to get public feedback on our decisions.
     Welcome to UPWARDS BOUND and I look forward to your comments.
