Travel Checklist
This list was for a 4-week journey to Turkey which involved wild camping. Expeditions to the Sahara, for example, would be much more extensive. The list will look very excessive to back-packers, but remember it is for a vehicle-based journey where weight and space are not limiting factors. Remember, any fool can be uncomfortable!
