List getting shorter

Bought 30 litre rucksacs for each of the boys. They love all the pockets. Small enough to go on the plane as hand-luggage and won't be too heavy even when fully packed.
For 5 months, Oscar plans to pack:
yoyo, DSi, pen/paper, recorder, books, headphones to listen to music;
2 pairs trousers and 3 shorts (2 pairs for school), pants, socks, sandals, school shoes, jumpers (one casual and one for school), pjs and 3 t-shirts;
football boots/socks, shin pads/mouth guard, riding boots and jodphurs, swimming togs/goggles, ballet shoes/unitard.
I'm realising that most of our space is going to be taken up with sporting kit! We will have to leave the riding kit, football boots and school clothes behind when we move on to Australia/NZ!

  1. Are you sure you are going for 5 months, that lot would last me a week!!!

  2. one week will do twenty weeks assuming we have access to a washing machine!
    Now it is my turn to get a new rucksack - I've not forgotten the relief of my large pack being stolen while in New Zealand 20 years ago and replacing it with a day sack size bag - so probably get a 'GoLite' 47litre 'Jam' bag which is ultralight at 750g and costs about £60.
