Rudy's Final Packing List

This is my list of everything that made it in the bike box today. For group items I was in charge of cooking gear (which is why the "group stuff" is dominated by cooking stuff); Will had the bike gear and Ian the maps (if you were wondering how we were going to figure out where we are going). More for future records, it will be interesting to see what of this junk I actually use...
