This is the gear I'm going to take -

Fleece

4 sets of underwear & socks

Rain coat

Baseball cap



WASHBAG

Hair wax

Deodorant

Aftershave

Razor

Vitamins

Hand sanitizer

Malaria pills & mosquito repellent

Maybe to big? Or cheap?



Or if anyone has anything to say about my gear list, that would be cool too.



Thanks, Dean.

Hi Dean,



As to backpack I would suggest Deuter. They're not cheap but quality is superior. I have one big Deuter and now I'm going to buy another one (smaller). An RTW is a challenge and you should have a reliable bag. The company manufactures really top-notch stuff and you shouldn't be disappointed - I've never been. The only drawback is the price. I've also bought Deuter sleeping bag (only 0.5 kg) and other things.

Don't forget a mosquito net - may come in handy.



Best,

Adam

Interesting idea - the attachable daypack. And the price isn't very high for Deuter.

Seems like a pretty nice bagpack but if you bought a travel insurance what I really hope) you might want to take the policy with you just in case. Since I got my camera and some other stuff stolen, I always try to get an insurance if I travel. Good Luck with your trip.
