Hi Guys,
I'm leaving for a 3 month trip tomorrow. I'm going to:
-South Korea
-Japan
-Malaysia
-Indonesia
-Singapore
-Australia
This is my first time backpacking on my own for this long, so i'd greatly appreciate any criticism/advice.
Pack:
Canon 70d Body
Sigma 18-250mm lens
Tokina 11-16mm Lens
4 Batteries
4 SD cards (3x64gb and 1 32gb)
2 ND filters in a filter case.
Caselogic Camera Case
Remote
Magic fiber
Manfrotto Befree Travel Tripod

Wireless mouse (since I have work I need to complete on my laptop)
Samsung S5 with a T-mobile international plan
Powerbank
Charger
Universal Adaptor
Clothing:
Peacoat
Small jacket
Light rain jacket
Beanie
Gloves
5 shirts (1 ‘dressy’)
2 pants (1 Vertex pants, 1 track pants for sleeping) Thinking of taking 3 but not sure what other pants I should take. Might buy one on the road.
1 belt (should I ditch this? Pants are a little loose, but I could manage without it)
4 Underwear
Travel Towel
Reef Sandals
Patagonia Hiking shoes
Toiletries
Toothbrush (buying toothpaste on the road)
Comb
Tweezers (unibrows suck :( )

Backpack
75 Litre Gregory Baltoro (Huge I know, but I want to put my camera equipment inside it when i’m traveling from place to place. Normal school backpack that is on its way out. I want to use this as my daypack as I can barely fit my Tripod/Camera equipment/ as well as Laptop inside it. I would not want to leave any of those valuable items in hostels. Good or bad idea?
Passport
Wallet (Chase Sapphire Card, 2 other debit card, and 400 in cash (too much cash?)
Am I taking too much stuff? What would you ditch? Also, is it possible to pay via credit card in places like Indonesia and Malaysia?
Also, since it's winter in Korea/Japan and ridiculously hot everywhere else, i'll most likely ship the peacoat back home after I reach Malaysia. Is this a good or bad idea?
