Here is the (long) list of our equipment, already (well) reduced since the beginning of the trip and  reduced again thereafter!

 

Since it was very useful for us to glean informations on this or that blog of travelers before we left, we made this list very complete so that it could help / inspire potential future travelers (this is also why we have put the links on some materials).

Legend:

🙂 = we advise it’s great!

: l = not bad but there may be better …

🙁 = there must be better!

If we don’t put any smiley, it means that we travel with it and we have nothing to complain about, so that’s good!
