So you think you're up for backpacking...


We are leaving tonight on a trip to southern Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile- real backpacking. Now please take a look at the 2 vacuum sealed bags- those are my clothes for a month. There is a sleeping bag, mat, and liner for sleeping in questionable sheets. A towel, my camera, meds,and a water purification pen... and that's it... for a month. And literally that is all that fits in the pack and its heavy! So next time you think, hey backpacking sounds awesome, maybe it's something I'd like to do, just keep in mind what you are actually proposing.
