January 21, 2014:
In a few days I am taking off for South America for 3 months. Below you can get an idea of what I am bringing. The pack weighs in right under 50 pounds. At the bottom of the page you'll see what it looks like fully packed and how I can still access my camera gear. There are straps both on top and bottom that aren't currently being used, but could hold a sleeping bag, sleeping pad or tent when the time comes to rent them. We'll see how it all holds up :)
