Probably too much stuff.
Really though, way too much stuff. I am doing my best to make this trip entirely self-supported. That means, grocery stores excepted, I should be able to live on the road without need for external help. Here's a not so short list of all the things I am going to try and pack with me on the bike, day in and day out. This list is probably going to double as my own personal packing list so I don't forget anything.
Sleep
- Tent -- The North Face Rock 22
- Sleeping Mat -- Thermarest Prolite
- Sleeping Bag -- MEC Aquila (-7) though I hope to never test its lower limit.
- Silk sleeping bag liner - mountain warehouse
- Pillow - Nemo Fillo
- Chair - Helinox Ground Chair
Cook
