preparations - decluttering

(trial post)

when it's time to pack for a roadtrip, you got to be light, regardless of whether there are panniers or tank bags or whatever.
but when the trip looks like its going to be 8 months, what do you do with all the stuff you have accumulated for the comfortable life?

the idea is to have
EACH
1. one haversack
2. one napsack
3. one sleeping bag
4. one yoga mat
BOTH
5. one tent

the answer was simple - giveaway.
so we decide to sort and giveaway our stuff.
what people don't take, the maid gets.

So that's what we did.
