Our humanitarian world tour having started in South-East Asia, i.e. with a tropical climate (hot and humid) and where camping is not very usual, we decided not to burden ourselves with warm clothes, the tent and the mattresses. It was planned to have them repatriated from France when family and friends would visit us.

 

But our itinerary having been greatly modified due to the pandemic, we had to give up camping adept countries such as Chile and Argentina. For the few treks, climbs and bivouacs that we have done, we have therefore preferred to rent the equipment on site (tent, mattresses, thermal sleeping bags, stove, hiking poles) at very reasonable prices. Weight and space savings guaranteed for the rest of the trip!

 

As for new acquisitions, we again chose DECATHLON, present in more than 60 countries, for technical matters.

For the rest, whether in relation to papers (visas), accessories (sunglasses, waterproof bag), clothing (various), hygiene (various), health (medicines) and electronic devices (phone, camera, headphones, computer repair), we had no trouble finding what we needed directly on site, and often at much lower prices.
