The stuff you find that you never knew about!!

During the course of planning this trip we have discovered quite a few products that we hadn't previously known about. For example---a folding bucket. Folds down to about the size of a muffin!! Over this weekend we're going to dry out a couple of the dried meals we'll be taking as emergency rations---or not---depending on how palatable they are, and how hungry we would have to be to eat them!
So dehydrated lamb dinner coming up this Sunday!!
We also have a folding water tank, thanks to a colleague from the Great New Zealand Trek. It's like a concertina with a tap, and will be very useful for carrying extra water for the bikers, and having a roadside tea or coffee in the wilds.
The weight of everything we take has to be considered, because the airlines love to charge excess baggage. I guess the hand luggage will be heavy!!!! It's a shame the bikes can't fit in the overhead lockers.....
