The FollowNathan.org Packing List from Nathan Winters on Vimeo.

UPDATE! We have a winner! Gitana Azul on twitter @gitanaAzul was the closest guess to the actual weight of my gear! Her guess: 64 lbs Actual Weight: 65.7 lbs!

Congrats!

Ok guys! I figured it would only be right to have a little fun with all of the preperation that I am handling right now. I also decided that If I am running a fundraiser and I am going to ask folks to support me in my cause… I should help them in their causes as well!

Here is how it works…

From now until the midnight May 9th PST people can send their guess and estimate on the total weight of my gear via twitter @follownathan or email nathan@follownathan.org - The person who comes the closest without going over the total weight amount wins (example: 53lb 3oz) and I will make a donation of $20 to the charity of their choice.

What you should know…

• My sponsor Greenopolis.com ROCKS! and they are a major part in supporting my efforts. Please check out their social community and learn, act, reward together in creating a greener planet!
• One item NOT in the video is the actual Flip HD camera I I was recording with weighing in at 3.3 ounces Please factor that in.
• The weight of the bike IS NOT included. all bags, equipment and gear are weighed in.
