Managing exposed film for long-term travel

On the road it’s easy to burn through dozens of rolls in very little time. So, unless you’re out there only for a couple of weeks, sooner or later, the accumulating exposed film will be an issue. Besides taking up space in your backpack, there’s a risk of losing them, damaging them, or spoiling them by continuous exposure to extreme temperatures and humidity. Developing the films locally is rarely a good option. It’s hard enough to find a good lab at home, let alone some remote town in a developing country. Plus, the developed negatives are just as sensitive (if not more sensitive) as the exposed rolls. So what do you do? Today I will discuss a couple of practical solutions to secure your precious snapshots of unrepeatable moments.
