The Countdown

Officially 3 days until I leave SLC and head to Iceland to start my journey!
My backpack arrived today (whew).  It's by a local company called Nomatic.  I saw it as an Indigogo starter, and knew it was the bag for me.  I love things with intelligent functionality (who doesn't?) - and this bag hits on it all.
During all my months of research, I wanted to know what other people took on their long trips to Europe.  There were a lot of ideas, but most of them were the same things.... so, for kicks - here is my list of things I'm taking to Iceland and Europe.  29.6lbs (473oz, 2.11 stone) of stuff! haha  Pictures included :)

6 pairs of socks
6 underwear
2 sports bras
2 pairs of shoes + the pair I'll be wearing
3 pairs of pants, 1 swim short, 3 tank tops, 3 shirts, 1 sarong (plus the clothes I'll be wearing)
Rain Jacket
Blanket
Cleansing Shower Wipes
Sleeping Bag
Camera
Camera Lenses
Power Bank x2 (1 solar)
Pillow
Towels (full body and face towels)
Face cloth
Hiking/Snow crampons
Snow Gators
Neck Gator
Gloves
15" laptop and charger
Misc chargers
Spork
Daypack/rucksack
Toiletries (solid shampoo/conditioner, lotion, deodorant, advil PM, blister aide, hygiene stuffs)
Travel documents - Eurorail Pass, Passport
Credit/Debit cards
Waterproof pouch
Plug converter
Earplugs
Headphones
Headlamp
TSA locks
Gum

And somehow, it all fits in a 21x14x9 bag.  Except for the cat.  The cat did not fit.  And as sad as he is he doesn't fit, I think he will thank me in the long run.
