Decided to get serious about what to take on this upcoming insane trip: fall → tropical → winter, with a very strange plane ride wedged in the middle.
You’re in more trouble when you walk to REI and inspect bigger backpacks. Not a smart move at 80+. I am getting weaker by the day. Not stronger. I walked back home from REI empty-handed. Everything will fit into my trusty 25-liter pack. I will mail all the “tropical” clothes back to the Asylum from Kona.
Backpack: 15 pounds. Not an ounce more.
They sell clothes in Kona and Tokyo.
