I'm pretty sure I have everything. I am a little concerned about weight but I think it's fairly reaonable. I am sure in the next week or so I will figure out what I can live without. I though about ditching the 1 thermal top but until I am sure the really cold weather is gone I don't know if I am comfortable with that.

Thanks for looking

Leaving in two days? Why post a list now? You'll make adjustments as you go. Stop worrying about it, and enjoy your hike.

Just as a double check to make sure I am not missing anything major. Not really looking for advice on items to change or anything like that.

I may have missed it but you need some TP. Tweezer for ticks and splinters?

Otherwise the list looks complete.

You will probably add just shy of a pound for book, maps, and journal. I think Wingfoot's book is around 8 oz.

Probably another 8 lbs for food (4X2) plus another 4 pounds for water (2 qts) and maybe 1/2 pound to a pound for fuel. (pints a pound kinda works for liquid too).

See you out there, I start next Thursday.

BTW -

I am dealing with about the same weight. I am re-checking everything trying to lose 2 pounds. (I could just skip a meal)

I am in the same boat with the warm clothes. If I bring them it will be hot, if I leave them it will freeze.

Don't forget earplugs.
If you're trying to trim weight, leave the extra batteries for your headlight at home unless you plan to hike at night a lot. If your headlight ever starts dimming, you'll have plenty of warning to get new batteries in the next town. They're pretty heavy for something so small.
Do you have some way to drink water without stopping and taking off your pack?
If you tend to burn, take some sunscreen.
By the time you get to Neel's Gap you'll have used your gear enough, and seen everyone else's gear, to know what you want to change out, send home, or buy.

Have fun!

TP's with the hygiene, forgot to add that to the list.
Didn't think about tweezers...thanks.

I just got back from Kinko's and had the spine cut off my data book so I can break the book up.

12 oz for the journal, data book, puzzle book and maps.

thanks for the input

Good point, thanks

I have one of those hook things that I put on my hip belt.

I plan on it :) thanks

Looks pretty solid, only things I can think of are maybe adding a pack towel (or bandanna), and I'd suggest picking up one of those Bic Mini (http://www.bicworld.com/inter_us/bdd/product_classics.asp?product_id=12) lighters. I didn't notice a fuel container listed (I use a 16oz. coke bottle).

Wish I was going. :)

Unless I missed it in your list, you may want to consider some chapstick or equivalent.
