This seems like a lot of equipment, and it is more than I had originally planned to take - but one of my goals is to photo- and video- document this trip as much as possible. I've come up with a pretty good packing system that should make carrying everything in my backpack reasonably comfortable. And we have arranged for a porter to carry up to 55 pounds of gear - which should cover most of our bulky items.

Mountain Hardwear South Col 70L Expedition Pack
Thule Crossover 25L Daypack (for the Drone and as my carry-on bag)
Osprey Ethos 43L Backpack (Kimberly's pack)
