So be fore I get into my list a little background.
I am 6 foot 3 260 pounds, pretty big guy. Ultralight hiking products or anything with the words North Face do not fit comfortably around me. I also do not subscribe to the philosphy of less is more. While I attemopt to reduce my weight, I subscribe to one principle rule. I want to enjoy myself. The most weight comes from three sources, water, food and alcohol. Yep I said it, I have a whiskey kit. There is nothing like a night cap over looking some small town on the edge of a rock face. That being said, here is my pack list, any comments would be appreciated:
Kelty redcloud 6400

I think I will go with 1 50 oz camelback and two 1.5 liter publix plastic water bottles. The trail water supply looks good
there will also be some vitamins and things weighing less then a pound or two.
I want to carry a tripod with a Nikon D40, with 18-55mm lense.
So any suggestions, comments, cries of verbal abuse? Like I said I can carry more weight, partially due out of neccesity and partially because I like extra comforts. I am planning on resupplying in Walasi-Yi center/ hostel. Also I am planning on going the 5th of Sept thru 11th. If anyone is familair with the weather, let me know if my clothes are adequate. Thanks for your help, and I hope everyone is safe and has fun. I look forward to hearing from you.
