Well, it is now the final stretch for this trip. Less than 2 months to go, and it still seems like I have a lot to get done.

I almost feel like I should start packing now!

One of the major items I need is to either purchase heavy duty dry compression sacks, or make my own. I’ve been looking at the make my own route.

The Sea 2 Summit dry sacks I purchased from REI lasted 2 camping weekends. They are just not meant to rest on a pannier strapped down on a KLR with all of the vibrations.

The 2nd big item I need to finish up is my food. I am in the final stretch with that. I have enough recipes for the trip, it is just taking the time to order, and repackage everything.

I will also need to start dehydrating fruit and make some jerky pretty soon.

And last is I should start mapping out possible camping locations.
