I promised in last week’s post, Top Ten Packing Surprises, that I’d break down my dream gear bag for everyone this week. Well, despite having been widely criticized for my comment about American condoms, I have decided to be upstanding about my promises: my complete travel kit, in a handy, checkbox form.

Brian's bag was full of beer. What about mine?
