Discuss actual or anticipated planning of your own deployment gear.
For my own deployment gear, I anticipate planning for a complete system that includes all necessary tools and accessories. My plan is to purchase an appropriate backpack or other bag with plenty of pockets and compartments for storing essential items such as a laptop, passport, phone, charger cables and other small electronics. I will also include ample space for any clothing or equipment needed for the deployment.
In addition to the backpack/bag, I will need to procure peripheral items such as headphones, USB drives, portable hard drives and external batteries. If possible I would also like to purchase solar chargers in order to ensure staying powered up while on the go without having access to traditional power sources.
To ensure security while traveling overseas I plan on investing in a good quality combination lock as well as purchasing software which can help encrypt sensitive data stored on laptops or phones. Finally it’s important not forget various power adapters which are often required when travelling internationally in order to utilize my devices abroad.
