Something I’m really looking forward to on this walk is writing about it. Traveling has always been my best source of inspiration. I want to be able to record this journey, which is possible with pen and paper of course, but I never do my best work simply by journaling. Therefore, I’m bringing my laptop with me.
I am not excited about that. I don’t want to have electronics with me. With electronics comes cords and chargers, and the risk that they’ll get damage. Most importantly, they’re HEAVY.
If I had more of an income at the moment I would seriously consider investing in a small netbook… but alas, I don’t. So in the meantime I’ll have to suck it up, continue with strength training, and try not to chuck my laptop into the sea 2 months down the road when I’m sick of carrying it everywhere.
Have you ever hiked with electronics before? What’s your advice for packing wired, but packing light?
