Prepping part 1

What to carry to loitokitok?

This is the main feature on my mind right now. I have never had to worry about this in the past. Because, in Kitui, every time I have had to set up temporary shelter, I raided my mum's house for stuff from pillow cases to spoons and everything in between. Her place is 20 minutes taxi ride or two hours walk (my pace), up and down two ridges from the former training center. Loitokitok is roughly seven hours travel give or take (without factoring in time spent connecting matatus).

Then there is the little matter of clothing, and appropriate ones for that matter. Im a relatively conservative dresser, my job though, requires me to be even more consevative. Every time I'm done with training I dump my clothes to my kitui closet, cant work for Nairobi....

The whole of this week I'm rummaging through clothes and piecing together seven outfits. This should sail me through ten weeks. I think. Whatever else I need for ten weeks in Loitokitok, I should be able to find it there.
