on traveling light


We’re going to the Grand Canyon!

One thought that should cross everybody’s mind – at least once – is what they will, and more importantly, will not bring. Renting a van (even a 15 person van) means that we’re going to have to travel light!

The Grand Canyon

A good rule of thumb is one medium-sized (25 - 30 L) bag per person, along with a non-filled day pack, rolled up and stowed in your main pack until you need it. If you’re really crafty however, you might be able to get by with just a daypack!

There is a ton of information floating around on the subject, but here are two articles to get you started. Read around and give it some thought, because there’ll be a knock-down drag-out brawl if we can’t fit everybody’s stuff in the van come May!
