Your Story or Advice for Others

Your Best Equipment
a sarong - it weighed 90g and could be used in so many ways. Scarf, sheet, towel, modesty when washing was happening, and when I got a cold it was my handkerchief!

Your Worst Equipment
The foam sleeping mat I took as a backup. After 5 days it was shedding micro-plastic so I decided to leave it in Denmark.

Advice for Others
Walk your own hike - we all experience the track differently.
