I have finally comprised a full gear list with everything that I shall be using/bringing along the way. Some things, like the sleeping bags and shoes, will be mailed to me to be swapped out as conditions change. Everything is listed below....pretty sure I haven't left any items out.
Now, as long as I stay on track with running, walking and hiking I should be ready to go at the end of the month. The first two weeks will Rock with Nick and Kelly, should make for some fun times! After that, who knows what I'll encounter,,,,,,,good, bad and Amazing!
My pack total weight now sits at just barely over 31lbs with two days food and 1 can of gas. Sooooo, basically with varying food choices and amount of days I'll be no more than maybe 35lbs for the first leg. It will only get lighter as I shed things and swap out my heavy down winter bag for the MUCH lighter synthetic summer bag. My goal was to be under 40 lbs, pretty happy to have met and exceeded that for the start.

I think you left the fleshlight off the electronics list. You will probably want this for when you are lonely and scared in the dark.
ReplyDeleteIf you bring a Fleshlight, you'll then need to find room to pack a tube of water-soluble lubricant.
ReplyDeleteAll humor aside, what you're setting out to do is very impressive. I often ponder what I need to do in my life to tame my demons. The walls that surround me in my apartment are not the answer. I look forward to your future entries within this blog during your journey, as it may help me(and everyone else who reads it) discovery my own path to happiness. My depression has been pretty active lately, which usually means that I need to focus on the healthier things in life, and to find challenges that lead to accomplishments...because I feel that's one of our primal needs.
You've got quite a goal to reach with this journey. I envy your goal, and I wish you all the best.
Stay real.
Thanks Rob!!! I look forward to sharing the best and the worst of the trip with ya!
