Because I'm taking the slow route, I'm going to carry way more stuff than Jan. I'll have
tent sleeping bag pad wool t shirt and lycra shorts for riding wool jersey and wool legwarmers for riding when it's cold off-bike clothes (I can't sit around in wet cycling clothing; I get immediately chilled) second pair of shorts (I know you guys can wear the same shorts two days in a row, but that does not work for me at all) wool hat puffy jacket rain clothes little cookset of Trangia burner, titanium pot, Westwind pot stand, cup, spork food Ursack food bag to protect food from marauders 100 oz hydration pack couple of 1 liter bladders for no-water section water filter food tools, spare tubes soap first aid kit bandannas, 1001 uses meds & toiletries probably my Tilley hat with a brim, for sun probably some Crocs The hydration pack plus the two bladders is about 5 liters. I might also in the no-water section carry more water, not sure. I'm going to have to camp dry one night.
