Here’s what made the final cut:
Riding gear: Leather jacket and pants. Retro-reflective vest. Rain jacket, pants, and boots. Heated liner jacket and pants. Dual controller to modulate output of heated gear. Two pairs of gloves: insulated winter gloves and deerskin summer gloves, plus rain covers that work with either pair. Helmet with separate liner. Riding boots. Aerostich wind triangle for drafts. Earplugs.
Camping gear: Dome tent and ground cloth. Down sleeping bag and liner. Compressible pillow. Thermarest pad and air mattress. Rope. Candle lantern. Cook stove and pan. Collapsible bucket. Mug, bowl, and utensils. LED head light. Broom and dust pan for keeping tent clean. Iodine tablets for questionable water supplies.
Clothing: One spare pair of jeans. Three T-shirts. Three pair of underwear (the easy-to-launder, polypropylene type) and socks. One pair of camp shoes. Stocking cap. Toiletries kit.
Safety gear: Gerber multi-tool. Nebo socket / screwdriver set. Tire plugging kit and CO2 adapter to fill tire in an emergency. Cell phone that I hope to unlock and use.
Miscellaneous: Netbook PC (you didn’t think I was doing this from my phone, did you?). Camera and batteries. Road atlas. Lonely Planet guides of North and South Islands. One novel. Reading glasses.
