Gearing up for the penultimate continent

I'm laying out the gear for another international adventure. 

It was helpful to "build a body"--an old technique I used with students in the field to make sure they had all the gear they needed head to toe. 

I even weighed my gear and recorded it on my pack list--cool tools to use on my new computer.

Gifts, first aid, trekking poles, snacks, reading material off the sides. 

Camera gear is another whole situation. 

Stay tuned.
