I managed to get most of the items on my packing list into my panniers and on the back of my trike this morning. It took a bit of struggling to figure out where everything goes, but ultimately it all fit.
For this tour I have a brand new tent. The Hilleberg Nallo 2 GT is lighter than my old tent, but a lot larger. Not only is there more room inside, but it includes a big covered vestibule area that will hold my panniers at night. In the old tent, things got pretty crowded with my clydesdale self and both panniers inside the main tent. I’m really looking forward to spreading out in all the extra space on this tour.
