Packing Lists

After much debate, we both decided on Eagle Creek convertible travel packs. The main reasons were the added security features, ease of checking on airplanes, and front panel access. The negatives are the added weight and probably less comfortable suspensions for long hikes. We purchased most of our gear online at REI, Campmor, and EMS, though headed to the store more than a few times to return stuff in person (see "links" section for more). Dana was the shopping expert and spent thousands of hours online shopping for the perfect gear that we will have to live with for the next 14 months.
