Hey all-
Hoping some of you might be able to look at my gear and tell me what you think.
- Granite Gear Blaze A.C. 60 Pack
- Raincover
- MSR Hubba NX 1 person tent
- Groundcloth
- Campmoor 20 degree down mummy bag
- Thermarest Neo-Air sleeping pad (perhaps ditching for just the mummy liner in late spring months through the Whites)
- Cocoon CoolMax Mummy Liner
- Marmot Minimalist Rain Jacket
- Paramount Valley Convertible Pants *
- North Face Windwall Fleece top
- New Balance Lightning Dry t-shirt (2)*
- New Balance Lightning Dry long sleeve shirt (2)*
- New Balance Light Running shorts (once the convertible pants are ditched)
- SmartWool/REI Brand Wool socks (short and tall)*
- NB LightningDry socks (ankle height, alternate throughout)
- Underarmor/REI Brand/NB wicking underwear (keep 2 with me at a time?)*
*I'd imagine cycling through these depending on where I am on the trail, I.E. the south vs spring/mid trail vs the Whites.
- MSR Pocket Rocket Stove
- MSR fuel canister base
- SnowPeak 700 Cooking Pot
- SnowPeak Long Titanium Spork
- Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter (thread fits Platy bladder)
- 32 oz Water Bottle
- 70oz Platypus Platy Water Bladder
- Spot Gen3 GPS
- Petzl Tikka Xp2
- Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Hiking Poles
- Victorinox Super Tinker Swiss Army Knife
- Suunto A-10 Compass
- Basic med kit, Multi-Vit, ibuprofen
- Trash compactor bag
- Stuff sacks
- Small plastic shovel
- Organic soap
- Extra tent stakes to be mailed to me if necessary
- Toiletries
- iPhone 5 (with guthook map)
- New Trent 11,000 mAh external battery
- Canon EOS T1i w/ kit 17-55mm lens (I'm a freelance photographer, willing to accept the weight by taking my back-up camera body)
- A.T. guidebook in sections
- Sunglasses
- Red Sox hat
As far as shoes, I think I'm going with NB 1210MTs Trail Runners.
That's the majority of it. I'm sure there are some little things I'm missing (batteries, sharpies, etc) but as far as weight composition, this is pretty much all of it. Suggest any changes, or any other thoughts you might have. I'm about 22 days from leaving, but still have a little time to alter things.
Thanks
Texaco
