Hey guys!
Training camp is less than a week away! From Oct 19-29 I’ll be in Gainseville, GA getting ready for the World Race! And I have absolutely no idea what will be going down while I’m there haha
I purposely decided to not read up on what exactly we’ll be doing, so that way I have no expectations. I know I’ll meet my squad for the first time, and I know we’ll be doing some hiking. The rest of training camp is a mystery!
I’m bringing most of what I’ll be bringing for the Race:
-
Kelty Salida 2-person tent – enough room to fit me and all my stuff
-
Mountainsmith Apex 80 backpack – an internal frame backpack with 80L of packing space. Super comfortable!
-
REI Duck’s Back Rain Cover – 80 L
-
Day Pack – the same backpack I used for school
-
Multiple compression sacks
-
Sleeping bag – military grade sleeping bag that takes up way too much space in my backpack, but I like it. So I’m keeping it.
-
REI Stratus Insulated Air Sleeping Pad
-
Thin blanket – most countries I’m going to will be hot, so this is necessary for nights when I’ll keep my sleeping bag open
-
Therm-a-rest camping pillow
-
Shirts, shorts, underwear, socks – enough for 10ish days (I’ll definitely pack less for the actual Race)
-
The North Face Venture Jacket – grey
-
Hoodie
-
Seahawk’s Snapback – go hawks!
-
Nike’s and flip flops
-
SOG SEAL pup knife
-
Compressible camping bowl with an aluminum spork
-
Camping Towel
-
Nalgene water bottle
-
Head Lamp
-
Biodegradable wipes
-
Toothbrush/paste
-
Soap and shampoo
-
Deodorant
-

-
Contacts with solution
-

-
Iphone 6 with a cracked screen – anyone trying to help me upgrade?
-
Headphones
-

-

-

For the actual World Race I’ll be bringing a couple more things like a laptop, adapter, external hard drive, portable chargers, power strip, various meds, a new day pack, dry bags, carabiners, drawstring bag, pack duffle, better shoes, ear plugs, clothes line, mosquito net, duct tape, Iphone 7 plus (come on ya’ll!), and anything else I think of later!
