For our 9 months we get a “big pack”, a 75 liter backpacking pack and a “day pack”, just your classic school back pack and people let me tell you it was very difficult. I had a lot of help with packing because of Jace, Lo and Sarah (former racers) so hopefully I didn’t overpack that much, but we will see. I am really excited to compare what I packed at the beginning of the race and then what I will have in my pack month nine. I just got to Cambodia and I know it will change a ton even this month. Side note: this is very detailed maybe for future racers. Learning what I will actually need/use and even picking up more fun things. So here we go!
