A COLLECTION OF EVERYTHING – FROM OUR MOST BASIC NEEDS TO OUR MOST INDULGENT DESIRES.
Blake’s Wishlist, Caiti’s Wishlist
We’ve been encouraged by friends offering support to list basically everything we don’t have yet or things we foresee needing here – if you are feeling generous and want to donate an item we would be deeply grateful. REI gift cards are also incredibly useful, they have a great return policy if something doesn’t work out. We’ll remove items as we acquire them.
Once we hit the trail our wishlists will be a place to help out with any gear replacements that may be needed or a place to find out what goodies we’re craving out there on the trail if you want to contribute to resupply! Cold hard cash will go a long way towards comforts (like hot meals, cold beers, new socks and showers!) once we’re out on the trail. If you don’t know who to donate to, Caiti is infinitely better at money management. Be sure to include a note letting us know who you are! We’ll be sure to send a postcard along from the trail. Our paypal account is linked in the sidebar.
Additionally, while it will absolutely be hard work and we value your support, we don’t pretend to think this isn’t some kind of vacation! We are incredibly lucky to take this kind of time away from our lives to do so. Still as we near the border, it couldn’t sit with our consciences to not mention the fact that many people face far more difficult treks as far less frivolous undertakings. Please consider donating to No More Deaths, a humanitarian aid volunteer organization created to “address different dimensions of the suffering caused by current policies toward migration, immigration, and border policing.” Or the Tijuana Kitchen, created in response to the migrant caravan it is “an autonomous kitchen space in Tijuana where folks… can cook hot meals for their loved ones.” Again let us know if you do, of course that kind of support deserves postcards as well.
