Packing for Costa Rica June 17, 2013

I took two 70 liter backpacking packs and one normal backpack to Costa Rica and everything was stuffed.  These pictures are from two days before I left, so not everything was in there, but the vast majority was.

Before I packed the backpacking packs

The red and the green rectangles outline my diabetes supplies and my clothes, respectively.  Diabetes supplies are aggravatingly bulky.  Fortunately, they’re also relatively light and are (mostly) consumed over the course of a trip.  Everything else was field supplies of one sort or another and therefore completely non-negotiable, as were the diabetes supplies.

And after some pushing and shoving….

Packed!
