Too Much Stuff

Over my last several trips I have started getting very efficient about my packing. I only take what I am really going to need. This trip is putting me to the test. I have to bring attire for both nights out in big cities and camping. As a result I am bring my sleeping bag and thermarest along with a couple dress shirts and a nice pair of pants. I have drawn the line at dress shoes though. They just take up too much space. All told I have so much stuff that I am having to go with my expedition mountaineering backpack instead of my usual Eagle Creek bag.

If I am coming to visit you in Australia, a close inspection of the above photo should make you very happy.
