The Gear

This is my gear list. I pick and choose from the items below based on the undertaking. All of it is tested. None of this gear is necessary for a great adventure, however I have found that having the right gear for traveling can make the experience more enjoyable. I do believe that it is always best to travel light. My list may change over time as I learn to live with only the items that I need and omit the items that I can live without. I have somewhat prioritized the list with the more important items higher on the list. While this list may not suit your travel style, I do hope that it provides you some ideas about assembling your own personal kit.
