Hi Everyone,
How about if we start posting up what Reading Material you think you will take with you. During our Team Hupomone conference call tonight we talked about having a combination of light, escapist material and heavier material. I for one would love to see three people bring The Lord of the Rings trilogy. At training we talked about some of the Narnia books. I also have several audio books on my Ipod & laptop. SETH…if you spy this blog you might want to give us some must read recommendations.
Also it might be helpful if some of you share your ideas about what you’re packing- change of clothes, cooking items, etc.
I’ll go first! I’m taking 3-4 trousers (1 jean, 2 convertible pants and one heavier cargo pant), probably 4 shirts and enough underoos to last a week (Australian Underwear…ask Joy!). I’m probably taking a pillow and maybe a small fleece blanky. I’m taking a multi-fuel cookstove (someone else on Hupomone may want to take cooking gear too since I guess there’s a possibility my “co leader” duties might find me spending time with the other teams on occasion). I’m gonna try to always have at least one meal of some sort (even if it’s just trail mix or bar) with me at all times. I’m taking a small first aid kit- I bet this might be an item we could coordinate per team- if not here ahead of time, then maybe we can consolidate stuff in Matamoros.
That’s all for now.
