Here’s my attempt at packing tonight before I head over to the airport in the morning. What I did while I was packing was try to put together “packages” so that it would make it easier to pack. I then went from that to packing the packages where they would fit best. I’m still not sure I want to risk taking my Rebel XTI without a protective case of some sort (see what I used in the video. :) ) So I might end up replacing that with my point and shoot since it saves space. We’ll see though.

Andrew Hyde recently wrote about his adventures last month and after reading his story I thought I would give it a try. I’m planning on capturing my adventures with Qik and my iPhone so you can get a feel for what it’s like. Feel free to track that progress on my Qik account. I’ll be posting a video of my packing abilities once I pack up tomorrow. But I thought I’d give you a little insight on what I was planning on taking.

  • I’ve got the Ketly Redtail 1800 Pack from REI
  • MacBook Pro (with charger)
  • Canon Digital Rebel XTi DSLR Camera w/EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
  • 2 iPhones 3G(with USB cable)
  • Targus SlipSkin Sleeve for my notebook
  • Case Logic Case for Portable HDD and USB cables
  • Targus Travel 4-Port Power w/Surge Protection
  • Moleskine Ruled Notebook
  • 5 pairs of Socks
  • 4 pairs of Underwear
  • 1 pair of pants
  • 1 Dress Shirt
  • 3 Shirts
  • 1 Sweatshirt

Update:??So I’ve made some updates to my list above, you’ll notice them in bold.??I’m going to wear a little more than I thought since when I land in Denver the weather is supposed to be around 28F. Of course the remaining days the weather is pushing high 40s, low 50s, so the rest of my clothes should suffice.
