Below is my “to take” list for the trip. Although I could have started this list with those I developed for my trips in 2000 to Alaska and the Dalton Highway (12,500 miles, 42 days), 2001 to Alaska and both the Dalton and Dempster highways and home via the California coast (14,000 miles, 45 days) and 2002 to Labrador etc. (10,000 miles, 50+ days), I started it from scratch and then referred to the old lists for things I missed. Also, I used the exhaustive lists I wrote up at the end of my prior trips of the things I should have been better prepared for. The list here is long and some things will probably be removed as I pack and go to load the Defender. But the Defender can hold a lot of weight in the roof rack (500 pounds at least), although that weight does lower the vehicle at least an inch and makes it top heavy. Outside of the basics, many of the items are for emergencies (e.g., bolt cutters) because of where I will be at times, and I take what I will need to avoid too many time-consuming resupply stops and for when we are camping far from good resupply points or other people. If something can serve two or more purposes, the better.
