12kg Gear List: The Japan Long Haul Trailer Tour

12kg Gear List: The Japan Long Haul Trailer Tour

June 19th, 2017

This is my gear list for a five-week tour of Japan.

– I will be travelling with a friend, so much of the cooking gear, sleeping gear, tools and spares will be shared between us.
– We intend to camp most nights, so we’ve packed to be self-sufficient for days on end.
– We expect the temperature range to fluctuate between 10-30 degrees Celsius (50-86f).

You can check out my titanium road bike and trailer setup HERE.

You Can Follow The Japan Long Haul on Facebook or Instagram.
