I’m a gear junkie and unforgiving planner particularly when it comes to what I pack. regardless of if traveling like a wanna-be jet setter or backpacking through the bush I try to pack light with nothing more than a carry-on bag. This trip is officially the longest that I’ll be on the road without a home base so needless to say I’ve been working on this list for the past 3 months! I did say that I was unforgiving.
Below is my current list that I’m planning to bring within 50 liter Eagle Creek bag. If i really want to get adventurous maybe I’ll try to get everything into my newly aquired 35 liter Arc’teryx needle.
