Cross Borneo trek – luggage

Less is better! At the end you would anyhow stink!

Really important is to cram everything inside waterproof sack!

In the following list what I guess that is a must to have with the brand name and the weight. If you would click on the brand name, you would be redirect to the website.

All the rest in my opinion is not needed!

If you´d like to discuss your luggage or to leave some advice, feel free to contact me.

Some more information about the things to take:

  • For me it always cold during the night. I do say that I use the sleeping bag just only twice around mount Muller. In case you could bring 1 more long sleeve shirt and trousers against cold.
  • I do prefer to have the inner layer of the tent or a structured mosquito. It would weight more, for sure, but at least you will not lose every night minimum 30 minutes to place it and 30 minutes to remove it and you would be protect 100%
  • Yoga mat and self-inflate mat are in my opinion essential:
  • In the boat the yoga mat will help you to seat in a comfortable way everywhere
  • In the jungle, the yoga mat will help you not to thorn the self-inflate mat because of roots, stones and whatever
  • In the jungle with both you could sleep. Please remember that the terrain will never be flat and there would always be stones, root and fragmented part of trees
