Everything laid out for Oz.  Mostly.  Clothes are in the corner.  Folded, but in a pile.  Not in a bag.  Yet.  This is a lot of gear.  Two bags, final weight : 28 lbs. / 35 lbs.  Including two fresh pair of 5-10 Canyoneers for Joe Bugden and Tim Vollmer.

What will get destroyed and what will do fine?  Canyons in Utah are notorious for munching equipment.  Do I have enough neoprene for New Zealand?  I’ve heard it’s cold.  Antarctica cold.  So, a second pair of canyoning shoes comes along.  Plenty of repair accessories.  Extra gloves?  Yes, please.  And why not take the spare camera that no one uses anymore?  One never knows…
