Putting together my gear for trekking longterm showed to be quite a challange. This meant having everything I need for the next 6 to 12 months packed in a 100l Backpack and having enough space for food and water when leaving civilization for a trip to a national park or a sole expedition. And at last I have to be able to carry the darn thing trough different terrain and vegitation.
After thinking i through and repacking numerous times I finally came to the conclusion that I cant think too lang term. It came down to what I need during one day alone in a patagonian forest, my first destination.
