The Things He Planned to Carry

Well everything is just about in order. Got all my shots, called my bank and credit card company, got all my medications in order. I just need to print out some passport photo's, upload copies of documents, and get some iodine or Silver Ion/Chlorine Dioxide.

This image contains just about everything that I will be taking on my trip. I suppose an itemized list is in order (starting in top left):

- journal with pens (one with a bit of duct tape wrapped around it)

-Gorilla pod

-Chap stick and sunblock

-Flashlight

-Watch

-Rubber bands and Money belt 

-Day pack

-Belt

-General guidebook 

-Travel pack

-Shoes

-Lock and keys

-3 bandages

-Insect repellent

-Extra batteries (for a total of 8 recharcheables; 2 in camera and 2 in flashlight)

-Bike Lock

-Anti-bacterial

-Universal outlet plugs

-Sink stopper and braided clothesline

-Ear plugs

-1 pair of shorts and two shirts

-Harmonica (learn on the road?)

-Towel

-3 zip lock bags

-Sunglasses

-Battery charger and mp3 charger with usb cable

-The Pocket Doctor (one never knows)

-Waterproof case for camera (I think I'm going to borrow this a bit longer Eddie)

-Mp3 player

-Sandals

-1 long sleeve shirt, 1 pair of pants, and 1 pair socks (with shoes is the outfit for day of travel)

-3 underwears and 2 socks in packing cube

-Zip lock with anti-malarial, anti-diarrhoea, anti-biotic, ibuprofen, and hand sanitizing wipes

-Toothbrush in a case

-Baby shampoo and shaving oil

-Floss and toothpaste (which I have to put in another container)

-Collapsible water bottle

-Sleep sack 

This brings the weight of my pack to about 14lbs when I have the money belt, watch, belt, camera, mp3 player, and harmonica on me. I'll also have a novel with me that I will probably carry in my hand. I plan to pick up a poncho and a hat when I get there. Any questions or ideas are welcome.
