I’d driven this route numerous times and revisited the old ways with a fresh perspective and a new set-up. When I set off from New York, I packed everything I needed, including a fold-out table, an easy-to-fold chair and a sleeping bag, the cover, a hatchet, an umbrella, a blanket, and an umbrella. Some sweatshirts, boots and the headlamp.
One of the recyclable Styrofoam coolers. Single-burner camp stove one that you screw into the propane tank. Quick oatmeal, a large water reservoir, water bottles, coffee filters, and a pour-over. Canisters for emergency needs.
