Miscellaneous Advice
This is some practical advice that I tried to come up with. Of course it might not work for you, but it did for me:
 |
1) money: about the dough Obviously, traveling costs money. This blog post is about everything from hotel costs to visa fees. There’s a spreadsheet with my daily living expenses. |
 |
2) routes: about red lines There are some things to take into consideration when you’re planning your route. I included a spreadsheet with my individual walking distances. |
 |
3) feet: about “made for walking” Shoes, socks, skin care, maybe even gaiters or orthopedic inlays – your feet are going to need lots of things if you are going to take extensive walks. |
 |
4) wear: about being fabulous There is a vast variety of expensive stuff you can choose to wear on a long walking trip. Here’s a list of my selections (no brand names though, sorry). |
 |
5) transportation: about cabooses It can be a good idea to get yourself a trolley or a pushcart to help you haul around supplies through the desert. I called mine “caboose” – here’s how to build one. |
 |
6) computer & gps: about communigation This blog has always been very important to me. Here’s some information about the technical devices that made it possible for me to keep it updated. |
 |
7) photo: about heavy-ass cameras Oh, my beloved cameras and lenses: six kilos of dangling picture-taking fun! Their weight made my life so miserable sometimes… |
 |
8) the video: about the telly How I made the video: everything from taking the pictures to processing them and aligning them for the time-lapse. |
 |
9) bags & stuff: about beastie bags Backpack, daypack, packing cube, wash bag, sleeping bag, tent. All kinds of bags and why they might come in handy out there. |
