Packing logistics

The FJR has saddle bags. I haven't put a topcase on it and I'm not gonna. I doubt it would solve my little problem.

See, I have a central line (coronary catheter). It's supposed to be maintained daily. I just packed up the supplies I'd use for the nine day trip and HOLY MOLEY, they take up about as much room as 6 pairs of jeans! If I cheat and only maintain the line every other day, there's still a heck of a lot of space lost to medical disposables.

I also have to think hard about how to transport the laptop and the camera. All this before I start thinking about the different layers of clothes I'll need for the changing latitudes and altitudes.
