A Limit is Reached

I'm overthinking this. It's much simpler, I'm over-encumbered with weight whilst still lacking in "necessary" materials. (It's possible to survive without all the "necessary" materials, but the desperation level grows higher, unless one has a high desperation tolerance or is thrilled by desperation). I lack warm leggings, towel, waterproof bag cover, extra bottle of water, but that would already be way over the limit, it already is. This trip is too idealistic, this I don't believe is a rationalization. There isn't enough possible trimming of weight, while traversing in this style to make it feasible. Other ways: different weather, different time of the year, accompanied, higher reliance on money expenses and remote cash. But not like this, this would have to be on a bicycle to make it feasible. I really do think it makes sense to have packed a beard trimmer. That gas can is heavy, I guess. Looking back I did think in the beginning that this was a possibility and field experience would be essential, but being blinded by optimism and shiny goals tends to obscure aspects of reality. Again, now I know physically, not just logically, what is or isn't possible. Next time the battle plan will be more accurate.
