My Gear

Back to Matt's homepage.

Here's a checklist of all of the stuff that I've got on my trip that I've got with me. Most things I've brough from home, others I've bought on the road, and some my parents have brought to be in Bolivia or in New Zealand. Some stuff I've sent home along the way. Other things I've just thrown out.
