That's the good question: only the minimum of course, but what is the minimum?
We always want to take too much thing and it's sometime difficult to leave material or equipment.
I'm starting this trip by cold countries: Norway with Siptzberg Island, and North of Russia, Which means that I need Equipment to support extreme condition.
On the clothes, as I start by cold countries, I bring:
1 pair of good shoes to hick in the snow
1 Warm underwear from the bottom to the top
1 Trouser like ski trouser
1 Polar fleece top
1 Warm coat
1 Ski gloves
1 Polar fleece neck scarf
1 Polar fleece mask / hat
1 Protection for the nose and high filtration sunglass
1 hat against cold and rain
6 pairs of Socks (3 warm, 3 normal)
7 underwears
2 T-shirts
2 Shirts
2 trousers (1 normal and 1 convertible)
1 swimming suit
1 hot pant
1 pair of light shoes
Need to keep in mind that you have washing station everywhere in the world and if it's not enough, you can still purchase the remaining from local market
Part of this equipment will be sent back to France when I will enter in the warm countries
Anyway, if I need to take new clothes, I will buy from local market and try to look like a little more to locals in each country.
On the electronic equipment, I'll take:
-1 archos: can get 20 Go with pictures, musics MP3, MWA etc and even short movies.
-1 camera pictures with a card that I can load in the archos
And all the wires, plugs & adaptors to connect/load them anywhere like internet cafe
-1 phone with the minimum fees to pay each month (just for the security, and in emergency situation only: I keep the number secret anyway)
-1 GPS gift of my colleague for my departure
