1 day before flying to Burma, it is time to pack and make sure we have everything. Fortunately, I still have some time left in case I still need to go shopping...
Here are what we take in our backpacks. We do not want to carry too much and at the same time, we have to carry the essential, such as a good medical kit, other equipment and of course clothes.

Other useful equipment
This category concerns all objects that may well be useful to carry with us. You never know what could happen on a backpacking trip in such exotic country. Don't expect the same infrastructure as in the modern western world. Some "Mc Gyver's" accessories are always useful!
- Rope
- Mosquito net
- Pen knife
- Flash light
Clothes
I advice taking some light clothes, as at the end of the day we carry our comfort in our backpack. So we'd better travel light! Avoid bright colours, American brands... you want to be as neutral as possible.
At night, it is pretty chilly, in the bus as well with the air con, so a pull over and warm clothes are strongly advised.
- 5 light t-shirts
- 2 light pants
- Pair of short
- Pull over
- Underwear
- Towels
Gifts
In Burma, the population lacks what would consider basic furniture. As we have been in contact already with people living there, they ask us to kindly bring the following:- Pens
- Lighters
