A case of road-trip FOMO

As I prepare to leave for London — by way of New Orleans, Texas, Sweden and Germany — and then on to Mongolia, I have been getting all kinds of great advice.

One kind person sent me an email list of equipment I might need, including jerry cans, bribes for border guards, a flashlight, nylon rope for towing, a compass and napkins. . I’ve been told that if I spend money on only one thing, it should be a sleeping bag. Or a tent. Or suture needles in case I need to stitch myself up.
