For a full list of what I’ve got with me, check out my list on LighterPack. This is a handy website which makes sure you can see how the weight of ‘little things’ can really add up. It helped me avoid the temptation to ‘just take that along too’…

The link above is the pack weight without food and water, which of course weighs a bit. 5 days of food is about 3.3 kg, so my pack will be about 13-17 kg with water too. Some days there’s plenty of water along the way, and not other days.

For communication, I’ve got my inReach Mini with me, as well as a PLB. For filtering water I’m using a Sawyer Squeeze. Not quite everything is blue, so I feel I’ve done well 😅 And yes, I’ll be doing washing along the way, everywhere possible!
