Well with the 6 month trip quickly approaching (how do you pack for 6 months?) I am down to final preparation for the trip.
Film
- I need to dig out my 8x10 Tri-x out of one of my freezers (how many sheets?). Should I also take HP5 8x10? I have 50 sheets of that stuff.
- Need to dig out my 35mm Tri-x. Loaded 35mm cassettes, how many? Bulk film how many 100 foot rolls? 5? 6? 7? 7 would be around 126 rolls at 36 exposures each.
Much better to have too much film than not enough.
Visas
I plan to get 2 tourist visas next week at the local Thai consulate. I will need to lead Thailand at least 2 times, perhaps more during my 6 month trip run.
Packing
Got my suitcases laid out, but need to fill them up. The plan is to do 2x50lb check in bags, complete with toys and hats for the "Families" in Thai. I will also have a carry on film backpack and a carry on gear bag.
