So here it is, just about everything I’m taking with me on my trip. A few things are missing but that’s the gist of it. Sometimes, it helps to lay it all out and soak it in. A pack list is essential for planning any trip. This was the second time I laid it out and pulled a lot of it out, to the side. I am trying to go as light as possible, all things considered. My bike weighs 29lbs without the bags and this is under 50lbs worth of stuff. Not too shabby. If I find carrying certain items to be too much, I’ll just ship them back.
