*some items may be missing
**all prices reflect the initial amount I spent on “new” gear, NOT the costs of items already owned, which amounts to, like, 50% of my total gear-including my sleeping bag + pad, and most of my clothes and miscellaneous items
Total spent initially: ~$900 (don’t remind me of this it gives me anxiety. the only thing that makes me feel marginally better about losing that much dough is the reminder if I don’t wreck my bike, I can sell it for what I bought it for, and that a few other new additions can be used on other future adventures. 😂 )
