Packing the Pack

Here is a list of all the things I am bringing to Europe. Not sure if i have too little or too much gear for the 6 weeks. No doubt I will find out once we are over there. This is an extensive list. It is literally everything I will be bringing with me so if anyone sees anything missing before I fly out please let me know.

All this gear will be going into my backpackers sack which I bought from Mountain Designs at DFO. It is the COLUMBUS 75 and it holds 75 litres including the little detachable day pack that it comes with. At first I thought I would have problems fitting everything in. However, when Dani and I did a practice pack we were surprised at how much we could actually fit. There is probably even room to bring some souveniers back!

Well here is the list.
