Bag Update
I´ve left the tent and climbing gear out for South America bit of the trip to be more lightweight and nimble. Main pack is about 10-11kg now. I also don´t need a least an hour re repack everything, as before it was so full, the only way to get everything in was precision packing, a wrongly folded pair of socks would throw the whole thing out.
How can you go anywhere without your trusty towel?
ReplyDeleteFord: If you want to survive out here, you've got to know where your towel is.
