I filled my car to the brim when I left on this trip. I’ve used almost everything, and many of these things have allowed me to travel very cheaply (tent, cooler, camp stove, box of food) and also experience things in a very rich way (surfboard, hiking boots, backpacking gear, tripod). Some things are for comfort (car phone charger, pillow, loose leaf tea, many, many books, stamp making tools), others are for safety (first aid kit).
Some things I thought I would never use when I was travelling down the coast (down sleeping bag, fleece jacket), some things I was very happy to have in the mountains (down sleeping bag, fleece jacket). Some things I wish dearly that I had brought (longboard, climbing gear). But when it comes down to it I have four absolute favourites.
choose carefully
