Listing of equipment bought & used so far.
I know that my adventures will require a significant amount of professional equipment. I need to ensure I purchase high quality products that will last not just for one trip - from protective clothing to satellite phones and cameras. Knowledge from the start told me that this list was likely to be a long one with additional items being constantly added and upgraded.
As you can see from the list below, much of this equipment is proving to be fairly costly. However, it is certainly worth reconsidering financial priorities, perhaps using sites like http://www.lovemoney.com/ , so that you can invest in the best equipment on the market. When embarking on any trip such as this, you don't want to be stuck without any of these essential items.
This equipment list is not complete. As kit is purchased this page will be updated. It should be noted that the cost of the equipment should not be compromised to achieve suitability for the job, safety & comfort. The items listed can mostly be found from Cotswold Outdoor.
