We expect this to probably change a little as we get closer to June, but here is our first attempt at our packing list. I can carry about 20lbs and Terry can pack in about 40lbs – it’s going to be tough to narrow down our item list!
1. Backpacks: Manali’s Pack - Gregory Deva 60 Terry’s Pack – Gregory Z65 (4lbs 3oz)
2. Documents: Passport Photos, Passports, Visas, Airline Tickets
3. Eyewear: Glasses, Contacts, Sunglasses
4. Footwear: Manali’s Shoes – Merrell Siren Sport Cross-Training Shoes (20oz), Socks, Flip Flops
5. Toiletries / First Aid: Duct Tape, Zip Lock Bags, Anti-Biotics, Pepto, Purell, Bug Repellant, Sunscreen
6. Outerwear: Manali’s Rain Jacket – Marmot Precip (12oz), Terry’s Rain Jacket – Marmot Precip (12oz), Lightweight Fleece
7. Misc: Pen, Small Notebook, Deck of Cards, Reading Book, Puzzle Book
8. Swimwear / Bathwear: Swimsuits, Ultra Light Pack Towels
9. Clothes: I think the key is to “layer” – so 2 zip off pants, few tanks/tees, a long sleeve shirt and 5 pairs of undies/socks… we still have to think this through.
Terry’s Underwear: ExOfficio Men’s Give-N-Go Boxer (4oz) (4 pairs)
10. Tent: REI Half Dome 2 Tent (5lbs 11oz)
11. Electronics: Nikon D60 (16.1oz) w/ 18-55MM (9.3oz) and 55-200MM Len (11.8oz), Canon HV20 HD Camcorder (1.2lbs), Laptop and Accessories
Does it go in the Backpack?! That’s our money saving motto! We really don’t need to buy any material items other than what goes into our backpacks, everything else has can wait until we get back…
