Okay so I am amidst the madness that is shopping for gear… it is beyond madness it is near insanity. There are SO many sites offering a variety of discounts and different deals that it is infuriating trying to make a decision between anything. I am currently stuck on deciding on a backpack, to me this may be the most important seeing as how it will not only be transporting my entire life in it but also it is going to to have to be comfortable for all of the trips that I hope to be going on.
So at the moment I am deciding between the Deuter Aircontact Pro 70+10, and 60+10, as well as the Gregory Deva 70….they are all nearly the same the Gregory has more pockets and a thermomolded back but the Deuter’s have an adjustable torso and more space… the Gregory is the most expensive but I have found it on another site for cheaper. The Deuter’s come with a rain cover but I already bought one for the Deva that I was thinking of getting… THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!! The other thing is I truly have no idea how any of them are going to fit until I have everything I am bringing stuffed in them but I don’t even have everything I’m bringing so that makes things moderately difficult.
Did I mention I also have back problems and perhaps the smallest torso known to humanity so that certainly limits my options. How about I just pull a Paul Boudrye (my father) and stuff everything in a trash bag and just hope it makes it through? I think that’s what I’ll do, it is cost effective and multi purpose = HA
Well good news I still have 42 days and counting to get everything in order, that seems like a lot of time, but let me tell YOU that it is getting to the freaking out stage in this process. THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN!
Alright that is enough panicking from me. In other news I did get a great pair of boots and I have Chacos, a hard shell for my mini Martin guitar, a rain jacket, head lamp, some water purifying pills, malaria pills for days, solar powered everything, and a watch with an alarm on it PRAISE THE LAWD
Chau a todos y hasta luego
