Excellent list - I just tried to compare it with my list for New Zealand it it seems pretty similar

extras

• nail clippers
• latex gloves for cycle repairs, or even in really wet weather
• long finger lightweight gloves
• I would not overdo the outdoor clothes. Perhaps drop the over-keks?
• Maybe a lightweight fleece? Or does the merino do that?
• I like a flannel or sponge in case of limited water etc for a wash down
• Crocs - big in size and not my thing. I took running shoes in case I could go for a run, but of course I didn't. I posted them back to a friend and bought these - cool in a surfie sort of way and light as flip flops http://www.sanuk.com/

I have just bought the same tent to replace my North Face which is too big and not partic light - will be interested to see how it fares

For what it is worth here are my touring journals www.crazyguyonabike.com/julian

Hope it hasn't been said:

Spare spokes?
never needed them myself, but a broken spoke could be pretty distaterous if you're in the middle of nowhere. However, if you multitools include a Spoke Key then you can just make sure you tension in fine and should be fine.

Nice list BTFB.

Great list! I haven't camped for a couple of years and I've never toured and camped, but I'm almost inspired by it!

Clothes pegs! Has anyone mentioned Clothes Pegs? When I try to do without (forget) them, my stuff usually ends up on the ground when my back's turned.

Have you started a blog, btfb? Are you going to. IMHO the preparations stage is one of the most interesting things to read about - I've learnt a lot!
