Ummmm….I struggled to pack up my ONE room and bathroom to come home to Philly for the summer, so I can’t even begin to think about packing for ELEVEN MONTHS! Not only is it a long time, but I’m gonna encounter all sorts of climates and situations. Thankfully, The World Race provides us a packing list and this awesome lady and fellow World Racer, Erin Knight, made a great post about this conundrum as well. So…
Internal Frame Backpack
- between 4,200 and 5,000 cubit inches
- many packs that are appropriate are labeled “Week-long Packs”
Other travel gear
- pack duffle or “airporter” – bag that fits over pack for checking at airports
- rain cover for pack
Camping Supplies
- 2-person, freestanding tent with rain fly and adequate ventilation (cannot be staked!)
- footprint (material that goes between tent and ground/floor)
sleeping bag rated for 35 degrees or cooler(Thanx Falula!!)
- sleeping pad
- pocket multi-tool or knife
- headlamp
- universal outlet converter
- travel locks
- small passport/ID holder
- eating utensils (plate, silverware, mug, bowl)
- packing cubes (a Race alumni raved about them!)
- good pair of hiking boots
- ???
