Our Collective Travel Gear
AKA The Greatest Gear-run Ever
Behold! Ash and Tom’s collective travel gear …somehow all fitting into our two rucksacks respectively.
Scroll down for an interactive image with hotspots detailing what each thing is! We can’t lie, it’s been the greatest shopping endeavour ever. We both love the outdoors and camping so to have a genuine reason to really step up our game on this front (the Amazon is intense, yo) and acquire the necessary stuff to thrive has been amazing. It feels like we’ve been to every outdoor shop in the UK. Thrice.
All of our travel gear laid out, Tom’s on the left of the bed and Ash’s on the right:

SOAP ?
Soap will be in my toiletries bag! Not quite interesting enough on its own to make the upfront cut alongside the knives, jungle explorer hammocks and suchlike 😉
I wasn’t planning on using soap…
Portable solar panel for 5V recharging???
Indeed! 2x USB outputs and we’ve sourced all the necessary bits an pieces to use it for our phone and the Field Recorder. No more getting caught out by a lack of batteries. Here’s hoping, anyway!
