MSR Hubba HP

Therm-a-rest
ProLite Plus

MSR DragonFly

Snow Peak Titan 2 Pot set



I made more progress today getting all me gear. Thanks to the help of The Outdoor Source in Columbus, Oh I will have an outdoor store helping me along the way. I look forward to testing all the equipment (especially the stove since it can run off non-leaded gasoline). We will be going on numerous mock touring ride, giving us practice with the gear.

Adventure Cycling & Arkel Panniers

Kershaw Hunter's Blade Trader



Kershaw Leek Rainbow























Arkel Large Handle Bar Bag


Arkel GT-18 & GT-18 BP



Arkel GT-54






Today I joined Adventure Cycling, where I also placed an order for my travel maps. There are 12 maps which in detail cover the ten states which the TransAmerican bike route follows. I also placed the order for my Arkel touring panniers. Above you can see the ones that I choose. With this set up I will not be hurting for space! Ross will also be using the same set up.
