Several suggestions come to mind. First, use only 36 exposure rolls. Use only one type of film. I used an ISO 200 negative color film. Second, buy film locally. Packing 300 rolls of film will take a small suitcase. Unless you are in the Amazon jungles C-41 color film is ubiquitous and is available in the smallest hamlets. " I agree. I spent six weeks riding trains in India and found Kodak G100 universally available. I also used a lot of Indian B&W, some made by ORWO, and some of unknown origin. They were both ISO 100 films and yielded excellent results. I brought my own Provia 100 bulk loads for slides. On a 'round the world ticket trip some of my film was x-rayed at carry-on machines up to twenty times. I compared it with new film and could detect no difference.
