hey guys, well i need some help here...
the basic story is... me and the rest of the maltesers on this forum had decided to go overland to sicily / mid-italy.... BUT my trip is going by far much further.... (might have to do with a tv proggy too ;) ) and basically i need to know what load out you guys would suggest me to carry on this trip....
the trip's check points are...
Malta > Italy > England > Romania > Malta (however other countries will be visited, our only chance to get to see europe ;) )
we're going to be 2, max. 4 in the land rover (photographer might be loaded up in the back and a friend of ours thats boarding from Romania)
basically by then my land rover should have the light rail, so i was thinking of takin that off and rigging a roof rack and put the floods on the edge of it... as a load out i was gonna take
spare wheel
around 4 sort of sand tracks (but for rocks)
9 jerry cans (3 diesel, 3 petrol, 3 water - colour coded jerry cans)
PMR radios
first aid kit
bivy tent (or however u spell it)
roll mat
sleeping bag
mag lite
shovel
GPS
compass
maps (hope we'll find)
takin that sort of small burner to cook on, a triange or wotever they call it
a gas lamp to see durin the dark
water purification tablets
--- ADDED STUFF ---
zippo
insect repelant
---------------------
thats the list that i can remember so far... if i remember anythin else i'll post more....
as luxury (if we see we can afford it) we thinking bout a small 1kva generator and a small car fridge...
food wise we were thinking of takin MRE's with us (as some countries get pretty expensive to eat in).
was thinking bout some spares for the landy as i'm pretty afraid that we'll be set back by some days with some break down.
at the moment we got some sponsors interested, if u know anyone that will be interested please let me know too as i'm expecting the bill to run close to the £1k on diesel only.
will have website up soon and if all goes as planned tv coverage for the sponsors plus sponsorship stickers on landy :)
also whilst up in england i'll let you guys know when and where i'll be and from where i'll be driving ;) would love to meet up with you guys :D
as always... any malteser is welcome to join in, we all friends and i dont mind people joining me :)
any help is greatly appriciated
