Shit we carry around 

After just a couple months of travel, we started to accumulate things that we couldn’t keep in our day packs and regular backpacks. Random useful things, random things that one day might be useful, and random things that are not useful and will probably never be useful. We needed a bag for all of it. This is the current contents of that bag.

Shit we carry around:

1. Plastic bag full of lots of other plastic bags  img_7537
