Here's a look at all the gear taken for my average trip. I don't have all the necessary gear to do a trip on my own, so as I collect more I'll write more volumes of "What's in my Pack". The missing gear is borrowed from my parents, or my friends bring. This will at least give you an idea of what's needed and how much you can fit in a pack. This pack is only about 50 litters, but I can strap plenty of stuff to the outside. Supplies vary from trip to trip, so this example is based on supplies for Trip 8, which I have yet to post.
