As always, I am fine tuning what to bring in the way of technical gear. When we camp, our gear travels with us in a van and REI is making a point to say that space is limited. So, packing tonight, I shoot for getting everything in one soft sided duffel and my day pack for carry-on with the airlines. Bringing the little Olympus "point & shoot" waterproof camera that I liked using in Mexico; no "big camera" this trip. Also the solar panel charger system for cameras, tablet, phone and AA battery pack which all charge from the USB output on the panel. Bringing a small tripod too, maybe to get some long duration time lapse video from our campgrounds. Biggest thing is the tripod, at a compact 14" long.
