Dear Mike,

That's a pretty thorough list. What did you not end up using?
Did you schlep all that gear with you, or did you use a drop bag?

I'll hunt down my list and do a comparison...

Best Regards,

Will

Dear William.

I used a dropbag near Loudeac.

I, umm, didn't really need the sunscreen. :)
