Packing

I'm off to do some work on a scanning project (which will be the subject of a later post) and got to thinking about packing. 

For this trip, I've had to pack the following equipment: Laptop and all peripherals, SLR, compact camera, GPS, soldering iron, tools, trowel, notebooks and loads of little things too fiddly to mention. This is before I list the basics like food, toiletries and medicine (in this case, the area I'm going to requires anti-malarials and a good supply of DEET). I'm not even taking some of the bulkier equipment such as the 3d scanner or Nomad X-Ray unit. 

How do we need so much 'stuff'? It's taken me the best part of a day to sort through and pack all this properly. I'm just glad it's just me, and not a whole team...
