This is the full Cargo Manifest for the Gabrielle, it includes every item of equipment carried for the expediton, except for each explorer's personal items.
I will be PMing each player within the next 24-48 hours with what I believe is a summary of their personal belongings for the expedition. You'll then have another 48 hours to make corrections to those perosnal lists.
