Expedition England: The kit list

Mikael Strandberg

30 May 2014

This kit list as regards to Expedition England is based on the needs of me and my daughter Dana. The third member, Georgia, who will introduce herself the day we start the expedition, since I have received so many questions on the topic and I want to make it a bit special since it took such a time to find somebody and it turned out so good (!), she will bring her own kit. Tent, rucksack, clothes, personal effects and so on, but she will assist me in carrying Expedition gear and Dana stuff.

This list, take away the stroller, toddler gear and tech kit, can be used as a reference for outdoor walking in Northern European like climates. However, you need to add more fuel and food to the kit list.
