GEAR LIST

Here we go with the must-carries of a long journey self-sufficient and solo edition.

Before you start off, it's highly recommended to weigh your stuff. The weight your body will be able to hold, must not be more than the 1/5 part of the body weight. In this case I'll be carrying 15 k gear with me.

The more weight, the more kilometres you...
will have to be over(at least the feeling it's that way). There are different ways to loose the weight on your back such as carrying ultralight stuff. Here I found great
tips to backpacking light. The principles: 


  1. Take inventory 
  2. Simplify 
  3. Limit contingencies 
  4. Value core function 
  5. Consider multiple use 
  6. Build systems 
  7. Develop your skills
