Ok, so I committed to this trip exactly 16 days before I had to leave my house. I had zero camping gear, zero supplies, no way to carry the extra 3 gallons of fuel I would need in addition to my 4.1 gallon acerbis tank, and no way to carry the 12 liters of water I would need in addition to the 100 oz I carry in my Camelback Mule.
Sooo, for starters I called Duane and he offered up his Big Agnes air pad, his Jet Boil (this thing is unbelievably handy), his Eureka Apex 2 tent, the aforementioned luggage, and probably several other things I'm forgetting.
This is some of the stuff packed, in this photo you can see the MSR dromedary of which I had 4. 2 six liters for water and a 6 liter and a 10 liter for fuel.
A note on the dromedaries, they will work to carry fuel, you will smell fumes but it works. What doesn't work is a dromedary being strapped to the outside of your luggage and then dropping your bike numerous times in a desert full of cactus. After day one both of my fuel dromedaries had thorns in them and were seeping fuel. I was able to emply one of the dromedaries into our fuel tanks and gatorade bottles, the other drom was hung upside down f my bike as I rode so the punctured end was up top where the fuel wasn't.
I managed to compile all the gear through various means. Borrowed f Duane, Bass Pro Shops for my Mountain House meals, purchased a titanium spoon, TP, wipeys, etc through amazon, and purchased a few things from REI. When it was all said and done I had prob spent over $1,000 for this trip and it proved to be worth every penny!
