...but I'm not quite sure if I am ready to go.
My brain is running through a cycle of mental checklists, wondering what I should take that I am not and what I am bringing that should be left home.
Travelle Ight and Justin Case are dueling it out as usual, but my money is on the former. My philosophy is typically: if I need it bad enough I can buy it somewhere.
The only caveat to this current trip is the computer? To bring it or not to bring it...that is the question. If I bring it will it be a crutch on which I lean, connecting socially through the screen instead of fully immersing myself in the experience? If I don't bring it, then how will I blog the trip becuase I sure as heeellllccckkk am not going to text it all out via my cell phone! I have about 18 hours to decide but I have a feeling I already know it's going to get stowed away in the van somewhere.
As of right now my packing list is:
- Sleeping pads and bag plus an extra blanket and a pillow
- Car bag with first aid kit, poncho, neat sheet, plastic bags, and disposable plates/forks (this lives in my car all the time)
- Rubbermaid bin with my clothes in it
- Shorty cooler for food I will bring or buy on the way. I haven't decided or prepped any food yet but I do have frozen water to chill the chest and use if needed.
- Small cooler for drinks and easy to grab snacks
- Electronics: ipod, cell phone, camera, computer (?), and connector to charge them on the go.
- Make-shift curtains for a little privacy while sleeping.
- Camping gear: 1 burner propane stove, hot water pot, flashlights
- A pot (bucket) to piss in - just in case or for any other buckety needs.
