Packing

I have spent the day checking off items on my packing list to make sure I have remembered everything. Here is what's going with me.

My house and bedroom!  Tent with groundcloth, pegs, poles, a door mat, and a mallet for knocking pegs into the ground.  Sleeping bag (in blue stuff sack) and air mattress.  And of course, my poncho liner/tarp courtesy of the U.S.M.C.

My kitchen!

Stoves (an MSR Whisperlite International I bought in 1972, and a Snow Peak butane), pots and pans and dishes, a tool roll with my kitchen gadgets and headlamp, kitchen sink with scrubbers and soap, cutting boards, coffee makers, and instant coffee for the bad days.

Hydration station.  Katydid water filter, MSR bag, and Mosko Moto bag that it will fit into.

Tool kits and parts, including tire repair kit, air pump, Leatherman Crunch and a Swiss Army Knife.

Spare parts for the bike, including the rebuilt brake and clutch levers, seals, bearing, a tune, and a headlight bulb.

My recovery kit with rope, straps carbines and pulleys.

My clothing.  Silk scarf and three pairs of gloves, my riding bely circling my wool long underwear.  Below that my swim suit rolled with extra handkerchiefs and socks.  On the right, three skivvies rolls, each with T-shirt, riding shorts, handkerchief, and briefs, all rolled up in a pair of socks.  My riding suit is already there with boots and helmet, so this is all I need to take.

Tomorrow, what it all looks like in the bags!
