I am proud of how little clothes I managed to pack, though. Here is a picture of the compression sack where all my clothes for the trip are contained!
Not only does this nifty bag keep my clothes compressed, taking up less space in my pack, but it also keeps them waterproof. Should be pretty handy during the month or so of monsoon weather I'll encounter when I first get to Nepal.
And here is my pack, fully ready to go.
Those shades are going to see a lot of sun, and those boots are going to get caked in some serious dirt.
UPDATE:
ReplyDeleteMy friend Alicia helped me sift through what I had, trying to eliminate things to lighten the pack a bit. For some reason I had a syringe. Gone. Particle masks? Gone.
However, I am not giving up my bungee cords. You never know when you'll need those, right? She also pointed out how ridiculous my pack lock is, given that it will only attract more attention to my stuff. Is it wrong to be a bit paranoid about that though? That's my entire life in a bag... Well, we'll see!
haha that's awesome... def going through the same "Am I too paranoid by bringing X??" phase! Looking forward to following your blog... will def get in tough if it looks like we may cross paths!
ReplyDeleteThis is not a "pack lock" that you are talking about. It is maximum security for your bag. However, you were minimal in all other things and are going to be glad you packed light! I think you are very prepared!
