Equipment [back]

One of the more frequent questions that I am asked is "what did you bring with you?" Rather than answering this question every time it's asked, I've decided to list all of my gear instead. When I started my trip, I was pulling 85 pounds of equipment, but once I reached Colorado, enough was enough and I sent home 30 pounds. Of course, once I had that much more free room in my trailer, I quickly filled it up with things that I didn't have room for before.

Anyway, here's the list of most of my equipment. (At least the things I care to admit)
