The biggest obstacle we seem to have is access to the 5K.
I never thought about the aspect of bringing my own panel boxes and wiring. It would make things a lot easier in regards to setting up shop versus having to go with cheap 220V boxes and wiring. Maybe I will look into getting all of the needed electrical supplies prior to leaving.
The shower trailer was a given. I am counting on having to build one of those, however that is a lot of material to haul. My electrical skills are solid, however my plumbing skills not. So that is another problem to deal with. Hopefully I will be able to track down some diagrams prior to leaving.

I have never used a self filter lifesaver water bottle, worked with some Brits and they lived them. I say put then both down on the DSOR. I use the MSR, or any filter system for dismounted patrolling. The self filter lifesaver water bottles would be great around the VSP or eating with locals. Nice discreet easy to drink clean.
Go to some mountain climbing forums and look there. I may buy one to try out this trip.
