54 Days to Go: Camping Gear

We plan to camp many of the nights, only staying in hotels if we've been riding in the rain or if the weather is otherwise really incliment (and there is a hotel evailable). Or if we get tired of sleeping on the ground, which I believe MAY happen once in a while :)

We will both have two man tents (MEC Gemini for Cory, Integral Design MK3 for Tim)





We'll have enough room for 1 person and some gear in each tent. For sleeping bags, I've got a bag from Integral Design, and Cory has a MEC bag, both with Thermarest mats.





We'll each be carrying MSR water purifiers (we went with two smaller ones, on the assumption that if one breaks, we'll have a spare).



For a cookstove, we are using a Primus Omnifuel.



(runs on pretty much any liquid fuel, so if we happen to run out of fuel, we can siphon some from the bikes if necessary.
