Gear

Sitting in the train towards my family to visit them for the laat time in 3 months, I figured this would be a good moment to tell something about all the gear I'm bringing.

My packig list started from a packing list from colleagues that they used for a recent hike in Scotland. Combining this with my experience from previous trip and some tips from the internet resulted in the below packing list.
