I haven't bought a lot of my gear yet but I have a really good idea of what I will be purchasing very soon. I just want to post my gear list (what I'll be buying) before I buy it to see if there is anything I could change. I am most likely going to be starting April 1st (maybe earlier).
Backpack: Right now I have a Deuter ACT Lite 65+10. Probably going to return it (haven't used it yet) for a Osprey Exos 58.
Sleeping bag: Western Mountaineering Ultralite 20 degree bag (too warm?) I'm probably going to be also taking a cheap liner not for warmth but for cleanliness of bag.
Tent: Lightheart Gear SoLong 6
Sleeping Pad: Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol
Stove: MSR Pocket Rocket
Water treatment: Sawyer Mini + Aquamira (backup)
Pot: Thinking about the GSI or Snowpeak 900ML pot.
Puffy Jacket (camp jacket): Marmot Zeus (on sale now)
Rain Jacket: Marmot Precip (also on sale)
Baselayer top: Minus 33 MidWeight Crew neck long sleeve top
Baselayer bottom: Minus 33 Lightweight Pants
Shorts: Synthetic Running shorts
Socks: Kirkland Merino Wool Hiking Socks (x3)
Dirty girl Gaiters
Pants: The North Face Paramount Peak Convertible pants
Shirt: One or 2 Short sleeve synthetic shirt
I'm for getting some things because I'm a bit undecided on them (Trekking poles, shoes, underwear). My main questions/concerns are: Is my sleeping bag too warm? Should I take another baselayer top (synthetic shorts for sleep) for sleep (probably lightweight merino wool)? Should I take a cheap fleece pullover for extra insulation while hiking (Puffy is almost exclusively for camp)? Any other comments? Don't really have a set base weight yet. I figure I'll just weight what I have when I have it. Thanks for any help.
