What do I need to take with ?
It is best to limit your backpack to have a total weight of about 7 kg. Considering that I will start each day with 1 Litre of water in the camel pack in the backpack I can carry 5 kg of equipment clothes and padkos. After creating the list below I am not sure if it will be possible to take all of this considering the back pack limits 5 kg and 19 litres.
