Stuff I have, who gave them to me or remind me of

P-nok's wallet. The gang's macpac backpack. A snowgum feather sleeping bag (bought with heidi's help) that reminds me of many fellow campers. Heidi's silk sleeping bag insert. My parent's health fund's glasses (bought with Ben's help. and Dad's unhelp, as I should never have ordered them with this ghastly light-sensitive tinting). A leather jacket of inherited sentimental value (mum's sisters's late husband, who I did not know too well, but well, others did). Winnie's ipod. RIP: nathan's neckwarmer (lost during COP15). The list is brief. I like the essentiality of it. It's really the only stuff I own.

So why am I hauling four bags weighing 40kg (13 kg over the limit!) halfway around the globe to 7 different stops?
