Gear Shakedown

I decided to video everything going in my pack, if you prefer to read about it scroll down.

Packing for 14 days in one back-pack was a little daunting.  So I started researching what others are doing by reading blogs.  Tim Ferris has a great post on his fourhourworkweek blog.  I took some of Tim’s advice and then adapted it for aviation, see previous post about packing.  I think I finally have everything together, here is a list of the clothing I am taking:

• 1 pair Unionbay Men’s Cotton Twill Survivor Cargo Pant
• 1 pair cotton cargo shorts
• 1 pair Quiksilver Men’s Manic Boardshort
• 2 pair ExOfficio Men’s Give-N-Go Boxer Brief
• 5 pair Thorlo Men’s Lite Running Mini Crew Sock
• 3 cotton t-shirts
• 1 pair Reef sandals
• 1 pair Sanuk Men’s Vagabond Sandal Shoe
• 1 MSR Packtowl Original

Computer Equipment was also another tough area.  Since our goal is to capture as much video and still footage as possible I want to bring as much gear as possible.  Unfortunately this isn’t really possible.  So here is what I am bringing.  The Booq bag has a special padded slot for a laptop and another compartment for a SLR style camera.

• Booq Boa flow XL – Notebook carrying backpack – 17
• Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.66GHz Core i7 Laptop & Charger
• Canon T2i Digital SLR, this camera also shoots HD-video!
• LaCie Rugged All-Terrain 500 GB FireWire 800/ FireWire 400/USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive 301371
• 4 NflightcamGPS cameras powered by Contour
• All associated cables and chargers

As the trip unfolds I will let you know what I wish I had and what I could have done with out.
