Update 18/09/2015
As noted in my blog post about the latest overseas trip, we have now been back in NZ coming on 2 weeks and I have been working on finishing and reformatting the gear list. We still have some final purchases, and other decisions, to make - as well as having a few more things to weigh (waiting on a new set of scales as well since the old ones are a bit dodgy). Should be ready to launch the list by early-mid next week with any luck (and a bit of time - just off to shift some cattle right now!)
Gear List (work in progress)
While we had a fair amount of older existing gear, we decided (with our advancing years!!) that it would be worthwhile trying to keep our weight down as much as possible, without being silly about it. My sly motive is also that it will give me more flexibility to take the occasional toy with us.
We have done a lot of research to settle on our list - including a big thank you to the many other TA bloggers who have provided gear insights. Nothing is ever absolute, so I'm sure some will think there were better options - but it is what it is!! A large chunk of our hiking kit has been made by Joe Valesko and his team at ZPacks. This includes a 3-person tent (thought we could do with the extra room! Also in camouflage as this is slightly more opaque, albeit marginally heavier - still around 750gms), backpacks, sleeping bags, rain gear, drybags etc. The rest of it has come from various sources in NZ and overseas. We love to support local wherever we can but some things are simply not available here and, in the odd case, the finance manager has insisted that financial considerations win out over the heart!
