Gear List for Sabbatical Journey
Here is a partial list of gear for the sabbatical journey. It will have to serve the needs of myself and my two research associates (my two sons have begun to collaborate on projects, and I will add their names to the list of SWEAT collaborators soon). My wife will also have some gear needs.
- Mac PowerBook G4 running OS 10.5.6
- MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.6
- MacBook running OS 10.4.x
- Sony HD DV camera
- Western Digital 500GB Studio hard drive
- 120GB FireLite Smart Disk
- 60GB Video iPod classic
- 8GB iPod Nano 3G
- 2 x iPod Shuffle
- Logitech wireless 3 button mouse
- Samsung 7 MegaPixel still camera
- generic 7.5 MegaPixel still camera
- VGA Carabiner Cam
- 3 Pack Moleskine soft cover sketchbook gridded paper
- 3 Pack Moleskine soft cover sketchbook plain paper
- Moleskine hard cover sketchbook
- Assortment of 11 x 17 cotton velllum gridded paper
- 48 Faber Castell PITT artist pen brushes in assorted colors
- 3 Dixon Tri-Conderoga HB pencils
- 2 HB carpenters pencils
- 12 HB pencils
- 2 UHU glue sticks
- 2 special pencil sharpeners
- a surge protector
This will help me remember what to pack on the way home. Paper should be available. I used school notebooks from central and south america with gridded pages before I found the Moleskine. I'll need to remember to bring home sketches and drawings, so I will likely need to pick up a modest, packable portfolio on our return. I haven't weighed the hardware, but we will hand carry the cameras and the laptops, and carry-ons aren't weighed. The traditional analog art supplies will fit fine in the luggage. I've put the assorted cables and power-bricks in individual sandwich bags so that if TSA feels the need to rummage then - hopefully - it won't be too much of a mess. I'm tempted to hand-carry the hard-drives too, but I don't know if this can guarantee less jostling.
