==Collective Group Equipment as of 2014==
Things often get left behind and often get mixed up with (particularly kitchen) equipment of the projects. One important tip when acquiring communal equipment is to '''choose items that have an exceptional design'''. Experience shows that even the most useless things don't get lost for months if their look is easy to recognise, but even the most essential things get left behind when no one is sure if they are ours or belong to the project.
* [[Trailers]]
** We have two Bob trailers - one is with the coordinators in Thessaloniki, another travelling with a 2013 participant hopefully arriving in time.
** We will maybe borrow a third one from Lastenradkollektiv in Vienna - Lollipop: http://www.lastenradkollektiv.at/fuhrpark-anhaenger/ - if you happen to come to the start of the tour and pass through Vienna please contact us in order to assist with transport
* [[Rocket Stove]] - usually we have two, light, ecological and mostly free, we will have a workshop and build them at the start of the tour in Sofia
* [[Biketools]] - we have some basic tools plus a few special ones (crank remover, cassette tool) that will be communal, you can add here what you will bring. Take a look if your bicycle needs a very special tool
* [[Medical Kit]] - please put here if you bring one, we don't know where the ones from last year went
* [[Cooking utensils]] - '''the majority of last year's cooking equipment is in Cluj, Romania with a collective where we spent the last days of 2013 biketour - HELP NEEDED TO GET IT TO THE START OF 2014 IN SOFIA!!'''
**1x big silver/ black pot + 1x big lid; metal
**2x medium black/ sliver pots
**1x medium black teflon pot
**2x medium pan lids; one blue, one metal
**1x white enamel washing up bowl
**3x white water containers (only 1 has a lid)
**5x white plastic chopping boards
**1x grater
**1x long wooden stirring spoon
**2x flat wooden spoons
**1x white/ yellow ladle
**1x small blue ladle
**1x wooden masher
**1x orange handled shovel
**1x red bag of spokes and skewers


*We can maybe add a few things from Thessaloniki, some things which are needed (please add here if you can bring them, also what you think is missing):
==Permanent equipment==
** sharp knives for cutting vegetables
** tea towels
** Big box for carrying spices, tea etc.


* [[BT_2014_advertising_material]] - Booklets, leaflets, stickers, posters, screen printing stuff etc. - make your own!
Equipment that does not get used up and that we keep over the years.
* One small '''laptop''' will be there for writing blog-posts etc.


* It would be good if you sort out your '''bike''' yourself. However, if you don't have a bike/cannot bring one, write to us and to the list, maybe we can point you to somewhere and/or people on the route can help you out (probably someone who is leaving can lend you their bike etc.

==Equipment that gets used up==


* General '''BIODEGRADABLE hygiene products''' like toothpaste and laundry liquid and handsoap will be there communally from collective/self-organized projects around Thessaloniki. We are not sure if we also find dishwash liquid, shampoo and sun-cream from similar sources - feel free to bring bigger quantities and share. We also need sponges.
Equipment that gets used up, so it needs to be acquired before and during the tour.

Here we keep a record of the collective equipment needed/thought/available for each Biketour.

If you want to know what you should bring generally see here -> participant equipment recomendation or in the FAQs on www.ecotopiabiketour.net

Things often get left behind and often get mixed up with (particularly kitchen) equipment of the projects. One important tip when acquiring communal equipment is to choose items that have an exceptional design. Experience shows that even the most useless things don't get lost for months if their look is easy to recognise, but even the most essential things get left behind when no one is sure if they are ours or belong to the project.

Permanent equipment

Equipment that does not get used up and that we keep over the years.
