What's in the backpack?

Many asked me recently, how do I pack for 7 months of travels?

The answer can be as simple as it doesn't matter whether you go for 7 months or 2 weeks. You need the same kind and amount of stuff. Or maybe less, as you are not carrying a pulley suitcase between the airport terminal and the taxi but anywhere you go, what you bring will end up on your back every other day. Am sure I will leave behind many of the unnecessary..

So here's the complete list:

• - Lowe Alpine AT Voyager 70l rucksack with a 15l daypack 
• - Asics GT-2000 running shoes for walking and sports
• - Salomon XA 3D trail running shoes for trekking and hiking
• - Reef comfortable flip flops for walking
• - Puma / Havaianas lightweight flip flops for the beach (and nasty showers)
• - Helly Hansen waterproof windfoil jacket
• - Helly Hansen fleece 
• - A hoodie
• - A merino base layer
• - 6x short sleeve T-Shirts
• - A long sleeve T-Shirt
• - A sports T-Shirt (easy dry)
• - A linen shirt
• - Pair of blue jeans
• - 2x water repellent long trousers (one pair is zip-off to convert to shorts)
• - Pair of short trousers
• - Pair of swim shorts
• - 7x boxer shorts
• - 7x pairs of socks (5 running, 1 normal, 1 hiking)
• - Toiletries
• - First aid / painkillers / antibiotics 

All this makes the big bag weight 12 kgs and the daypack 3.5 kgs.  That should do.
