What to pack: full kit summary for 10 months

Been on the move now for over 2 months and it's about time I detailed my packing list!

I'm splitting this into 3 posts, this post covering my full kit, post covering my remote working set-up and finally a post focusing on diabetes related items.

Bag

Wanting a large bag with detachable day sack I settled on the Osprey Waypoint 85 backpack, solid backpack with plenty of space if needed.

 What not to pack

There are some items that are just not needed, for example...

• Mosquito Net - if you need one it will be provided. Better taking some duck tape to patch any holes
• Cloths - dont go crazy here, you can wash as you travel and pickup cheap new cloths as needed. At times you will be wearing dirty cloths - deal with it

Well that's about it, there will be a few bits missed, feel free to ask any questions in the comments.
