Hello White Blaze!
My wife and I are planning a 3 week hike of the AT from Glasgow, VA to Harper's Ferry. April 26-May 16. We're planning to resupply in Waynesboro and Lurray, Va. We have car camped and day hiked before, but are total neophytes to backpacking.
I've been doing lots of research the past 2 months, and this web site has been an invaluable help. Thank you!
I've just finished working up a gear list for our trip. As well, I've made a list of clothing I think we will need to take, although I have done no research into items we would actually buy.
I've attached my gear list as an excel spreadsheet, and you can also view it at: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?k...eGz8rFD6qPGWRA
Any thoughts you have on this list is greatly appreciated. This is EVERYTHING I plan to take, down to the last detail, with the exception of a few mesh bags / plastic bags, so any omissions you notice are of particular importance to me.
Thanks so much,
John
