So I thought I would list what I am taking on this trip, bearing in mind I am backpacking through many countries, so I have gone for lightweight stuff to easily carry in my backpack. I must point out that these are my choices based upon my own preference and research, and I will update you as I travel and use the equipment on whether it’s good, relevant or lacking in some way.
Main Items
Rucksack
Osprey Men’s Farpoint 70 Travel Pack, Jasper Red, Medium/Large [amazon_link asins=’B014EBKVPE’ template=’ProductAd’ store=’httpwwwfahdes-21′ marketplace=’UK’ link_id=’31f7203d-a561-11e8-8104-07b5a76ca274′]
I spent quite a bit of time online and visiting travel shops to find the one I felt most comfortable with. If you go to YouTube and search Osprey, you can watch many people pack them and see the pros and cons of each size. I chose the red colour because I noticed at airport carousels more are black or grey than any other colour, so I figured it would be easier to find mine.
Sleeping Bag
Because I am staying in Hostels to keep the cost of travelling down, I needed a good but lightweight sleeping bag. After, again, lots of searching, I opted for the following
Snugpak 1 Season Travelpak Sleeping Bag available at Gapyeartravel.com
Good walking shoes
Again, I needed lightweight and, above all, comfortable, so I went with these
