Packing!

Montana wondering about all those bags

I head to Alaska in T minus 1 week!  I've been packing, and sorting, and donating, and pitching... As I've looked through everything I own, packed the things to send to Alaska, packed things to send home/put in storage, the pups have done their part...

Packing is exhausting

Packing was a little difficult... My room is not very big, and Montana wouldn't leave my side.  I had no space to turn around!  Dakota, on the other hand, was much more interested in my suitcase.  It seemed that every time I packed an article of clothing, she UNpacked it and dragged it into another room... I think packing took twice as long as it needed to.

In other news, I have a renewed appreciation for my camping gear... how little it weighs and how small it packs!  Camping gear I'm taking to Alaska: sleeping bag & liner, sleeping mat, pillow, towel, soap, first aid kit, tent, hammock, jet boil cooking set... I took two pictures, one before (with all my gear outside the bag) and one after (all my gear inside my bag)... Check it out :-)

...and after!
