7. modern undies
8. camera
9. cell phone
10. a passport (i need to get one pronto)

Marwen here... This is so cool! Are you going to do this in garb?
ReplyDeleteI might think about sewing a pocket into the inside of my dresses, or having a separate pocket or money pouch, for my passport and money.
Otherwise, small toiletry kit? ziploc baggies of a few sizes for unexpected stuff - carry food along for snacks, deal with wet/dirty items, etc. Also, maybe a small horn or wooden cup?
i am doing it in garb!!!!
ReplyDeletegood thoughts. i'll need some toiletries for sure, altho i intend, for example, on mostly keeping my hair braided, and not washing it too often. i'm thinking some sort of "slit" in my skirt to allow access to a pouch on a belt or something would be good for passport and money.
ReplyDeleteziplocks are apparently a definite. also a roll of toilet tissue. i'm thinking some sort of water skin? i don't know anything about leather bottles or water skins, but i'm thinking that's a good plan.
I would also suggest some sort of journal - I know you'll have your phone, but the act of writing things down can be helpful, and you may not always be able to charge your phone...
ReplyDeletea journal is a very good plan.
