When we get a better understanding of what we need to take we will post it here.

Backpacks
We bought new backpacks for our trip to New Zealand. We used them on the on the Milford Track and they worked well. So far the plan is to take these but I’ve seen people with smaller packs so I am a bit worried that these will be too large.

Cameras
We have two cameras, Chris’ camera and Jodi’s camera. Chris’ is sleek and small and takes pretty good shots. Jodi’s is big and bulky but can take better quality shots, and it can shoot in rapid fire.
Video Camera
For the trip we thought it would be a fun idea to take videos of our journey. We really did not want to get anything big and bulky but just wanted something simple that took pretty good videos. Our friends just got the Flip, and we thought this would be perfect. We tested it out and the videos are good, and it is really easy to add to our flickr account. Also, its greatest feature is its price. We got it at Amazon.com for $140, which seems pretty reasonable.
Clothes
Jodi and I recently bought a few Icebreaker shirts. We were first introduced to Icebreaker when we were traveling through New Zealand. All the locals swore by these shirts. They do not smell, even after weeks of use, and are light and breathable.
