OK, well I quit my job and decided on a whim to hike the trail. Yes, very little time to plan but that may be the fun part of it? Thankfully I have the support of my husband.
I am planning on heading out the first week of April and am really concerned about the proper clothes to be taking....too many, not enough. I am sure you know the drill. I know I need more but am also on a budget.
This is what I have so far:
Sierra Designs Rain Jacket
Cheap nylon Pants from Target as Rainpants 2 layers of nylon...is this going to be ok?
Hiking:
1 pair C9 lightweight nylon pants
1 lightweight capilene LS shirt
1 SS Target brand wicking t shirt
Extra:
1 pair shorts
Extra tshirt
2 pair panties
1 pair socks
Fleece Hat
Fleece Gloves
Camp Clothes:
1 midweight Duofold LS shirt
1 lightweight Patagonia bottoms
1 pair socks
What I think I need:
Some type of fleece shirt (cheap fleece
Warm jacket (was thinking Mont Bell Thermawrap)
possibly better rainpants or another thermal layer to go under the cheap rainpants I have
I hope this list makes sense. I don't have the money to buy anything I really don't need but don't want to get stuck freezing somewhere either.
Thanks in advance for any advice given.
At the moment I have read so many gearlists that I am going crazy
