Getting the train also means all our gear needs to be on our backs! Efficient packing is a must and only the essentials will be coming. I'm not posting the list…
I say 'essentials' but amongst these, camera gear is a must. For those who know me, I like my photography, but this is one trip where it will be necessary to slim down on the bulk and weight. The solution? Return to film. Get the trusty Pentax K1000 out. 100% mechanical. No batteries, no charger and very little lens weight compared to my regular digital gear. The phone is good, but won't cover it all.
