We’ve broken our kitchen list down into a few parts. The lists are guides and what we take will depend on where we are going and how long we’ll be traveling. If you have things you just can’t live without, like us and our french press, then by all means put it in. If there’s something you think we should have, let us know! We’re open to all sorts of ideas for our lists.

We’ve figured out that much of our kitchen stuff fits neatly into the top bag on the Reckless. It’s easy to access and is all in one spot for quick deployment and repacking.
