How to Get Lost

Amy tackled this problem a week ago. This time, it’s my turn. I decided not to do it the night before, though, since that’s a bit of a risk.

Here’s everything I’m trying to take:

Detailed as follows:

• 1 towel
• 3 shirts
• 1 pairs zip-off pants
• 1 bathing suit
• 1 pair sandals
• 3 pairs socks
• 5 pairs undies
• 1 pair long underwear
• 1 hat
• 7 books (5 travel books)
• 1 deck of cards
• 1 bottle shampoo
• 1 bottle conditioner
• 1 box bandaids
• 1 toothbrush
• 1 tube of toothpaste
• nail clippers
• 2 bars soap
• 1 box Contac-C
• laundry soap
• dental floss
• 2 tins mint ginger tea (for nausea)
• ~80 bags jasmine tea
• 1 thermos
• 4 boxes instant soup (condensed to two boxes)
• 1 Nalgene cantene
• 1 flashlight
• 1 Leatherman
• 1 pocketknife (for the corkscrew)
• 1 roll duct tape (the non-shiny kind)
• 1 universal electrical adapter/transformer
• 6 garbage bags
• 1 extension cord (in case we need to plug more than one thing in)
• 1 journal
• 1 Minolta XGM 35mm SLR camera
• 1 Minolta X370 35mm SLR camera
• 1 50mm Minolta MD lens
• 1 28-80mm Vivitar MD lens
• 1 80-200mm Vivitar MD lens
• 1 Vivitar flash
• 2 polarizing filters
• 1 red filter
• 54 rolls of 200 ASA Fuji colour film
• 11 rolls of 125 ASA Ilford black and white film

The rest, I’m wearing!

So, on my first packing, I got it all in.

And that’s everything, including my camera-cum-day pack. It can come out as well:

I’m very curious to see how long it takes for it to start lightening up…
