Getting ready

I thought I should start this journal off with my prep for the trip, or at least what is left. Soon I will be moving the last bits of my life into a public storage locker minus what I need for the next two weeks and my trip. That pretty much means I am leaving out camping gear, some clothes, and my laptop.

I have been anxious and nervous most of the last two weeks and I am sure it will get worse until I step foot on the trail. I know I can make changes along the way, take breaks if something isn't working out but I still can't break the feeling that I am setting up dominos and one wrong placement can cause total failure. Right now that mostly has been concerned with getting my gear squared away. I have been spending money like it is going out of style buying new gear that I hope will serve me well over the next 5 months or so. After my water pipes bust and I lost my gear building studio it has been a mad dash to buy everything I was going to make. I now think I am pretty much done. I have shoes, wind clothes, and shelter on their way.
