Budgets, packing lists and gear that hold up
Real route costs, multi-season packing lists and gear notes from my own trips, with room for honest updates as I test things over time.

Budgets
Route budgets
Item-by-item costs for fuel, ferries, campsites and food, broken down by month so you can see what a season really costs.

Travel gear
Durability notes on the kit I use every day, with a clearly marked space for affiliate links added as they are confirmed.
