So OK, I've tried to compile a
decent list of gear below. I'm only bringing 2 rear panniers
so I can't overpack even if I try. (I learned
alot about overpacking on the Appalachian Trail and I
don't want to go through that again.) It's pretty easy
to buy stuff along the way if you need it but it's a real
drag to send stuff home.
I also wanted to somehow bring
more hiking/backing gear (backpack, trekking poles, water
filter, etc.) but it's just too hard to get all that on
a bike so I'm leaving it at home and if I need it
I will either buy new stuff or have it sent to me along
the way.
