All I want for Christmas is... camping gear!

Bethany here, the other half of this dynamic duo. Like Ike said, we are in trip-prep mode. Hard to go back to our jobs after taking some time off in December and knowing that our trip is only 4 months away. In the mean time, here are gifts that our awesome family gave us for Christmas (thanks!) that should be helpful on our trip. We asked for the bigger items, but they found all the smaller stuff which is pretty spectacular. Not sure that all of these items will make our packing list, but I'm guessing most will. We'll post gear reviews once we set out on the journey.

Here's a description, working left to right & top to bottom (ish):

*Lots of Under Armor t-shirts for comfy, quick-dry clothing.
*Set of interlocking plastic bowls
