Leaving gear behind

While I was in Senegal, my favourite T-shirt started growing something, something that smelled totally rank. This wasn’t like bad mildew smell, this was a horrid funk that wouldn’t quit, even after repeated washing. There was no doubt in my mind, or in the minds of travel companions, that the shirt had to go. It’s always hard to leave good gear behind, but sometimes you have to bite the bullet. When you’re on the road, your favourtie kit wears out. It’s best to admit it and replace it if necessary (like my Asics pictured above) or just leave it behind. No point in carrying stuff that’s just weighing you down.
