-which bike to use (thinking of purchasing locally, kawi klr 650 prefered...)
-what equipment i need (previously just brought ipod, cell phone, maps, gasoline stove, tent, sleeping bag, clothes, hammock, kite (for fun), tools, other small things...)
-should not go solo?
-best way to manage money
-how dangerous is the route?
-who to avoid?
-what health concerns are there?
