Our Gear List

This blog post is dedicated to the gear that we are bringing on our one-year trip through South and Central America as a family of 4. I did my best to break down every item that we packed. I will write reviews on many of the items as we go along on our trip, and will try to write another gear post a few months in with an update on what we ended up not needing or items that we bought along the way. Enjoy!
