Yep.. Use the post office/couriers to send stuff home.
On the nuts & bolts rattleing off .. use nylock nuts !!!!
Where you cannot use nuts .. then loctite is good .. failing that RTV silastic (yes the gasket stuff) is also a good glue .. and can be used instead of loctite if you run out .. I also use the wick in locktite - green stuff .. you assemble what ever it is and put a drop on the bolt head where it contacts the part .. unless it has a nut then you put it on the nut to bolt surface. The advantage with this stuff is you are not mucking with it as you assemble but afterwards as the final step. And you can see where you have been - saves forgetting to coat something.

The reason why I'd take a laptop is to run Oziexplorer and mapsource and cgpsmapper and map edit .. to make maps of where I'm going .. where I've been can be saved for when I get home ... Other than that to show people the photos I've taken .. where I'ved come from ... but it is a load to carry .. so I'm undecided. I don't think it will fit .. 2 by 30 litre boxes .. so maybe that decission has been made for me
