It's 2 days until we set off on our adventure. We have been planning this trip for months and the time has almost come. Most of our gear is now in order and the planning is almost behind us. The packing process began a couple of days ago and is now well underway. After assembling all of our gear into piles, it became apparent that I would need a bigger bag than originally planned. Even with the bigger bag we are still struggling to fit everything in. The sleeping bags have been replaced with blankets and the sleeping pads have been jettisoned in favor of using those provided, in an effort to save space.
PFDs (life jackets), helmets, and neoprene take up a lot of space. Add those things with a tent, crazy creek, and other gear and it’s bulging out of the case. Then there is numerous electronic gizmos including the camera, GPS, solar-panel, chargers, batteries, etc. which need a home.
We’re counting down the hours while the packing, and repacking process continues
