Gearing up

A lot of preparations went into this trip. We have had to gather "intelligence" on nearly everything we needed to buy or do : we did not know anything about technical clothing, shoes, rug sacks and other equipment.


Go Outdoors, UK






We read up for hours (Roxana did most of the work here), participated in specialised online forums and shopped in 6 different countries !



AS Adventure, Belgium









Shopping in Belgium too. 









We tested the equipment in a "controlled environment" : i.e. at home !  


Roxana testing her sleeping bag

And we put it all together for a walk in the woods !
