For the World Race, I need a lot of gear! I mean A LOT! The problem is . . . I have no idea about any of the gear they said I needed. Or I thought I didn’t. It turns out that after listening to my brother, father, and uncle talk shop backpacking for year I picked up on a bunch of stuff. I’ve been blessed with some level of understanding! But more than that I have been blessed with people who are very excited to purchase me, explain to me, and help me find what I need for the World Race!!!

There Is a LONG list of things I need, but so far I have:

A TENT 

A FOOTPRINT

A SLEEPING PAD

A SLEEPING BACK

A LINER

A RAIN COAT

A BACKPACK

A DAYPACK

SQUISHY BOWLS

🙂

I still need a ton of stuff 🙁 But I decided that I would get all my stuff out and figure out how to use it!

My Footprint – it protects the bottom of my tent (and makes my tent cheaper to sell)

My Tent!

A Sleeping Pad – it’s like a mattress but it’s not! 

And this is my home for 11 months!

This is where I will be living for 11 months – it will be an adjustment!

I still have a lot left to do to prepare, some more gear I need, and a lot more fundraising to do, BUT I’m getting there!
