I’ve been collecting quotations and excerpts that inspire me and remind me how to live and be in tune with myself and the universe, there is plenty of space left in it still to collect information and inspiration before we go in the spring, and probably still some room to write in it as a journal during the trip. I’m worried that it might be too heavy for a six month hike however. It doesn’t seem heavy here in context of a few hours but in conditions where we’ll be walking for eight hours a day it may actually be a problem. Plan A. is to get a backpack and pack it with what I think i can carry, and then do a day or overnight hike as a tester to see whats really necessary/useful/worth carrying.
