In preparation for my departure on Wednesday I packed up my bags on Tuesday night. The challenge was how to fit everything I am taking with me into my bags.
I’m taking one large bag (a Gregory Deva 70L women’s pack) and one day pack (a Deuter Trans Alpine 26L pack).
Here is all the stuff that had to go in:
After an initial attempt to put it all in failed, some minor paring got it all in. I know I have too much “just in case” stuff (mostly in the form of medications and other first aid materials) but you just never know! Also because of the reduced carrying capacity I (hopefully) will be less tempted to buy too much!
