So I posted my first thread last week as my wife and I plan to hike from Springer to Fontana or Clingmans Dome in June, going slow, stopping in towns, and taking about 30 days to do it. I suppose it's only fitting that my next thread is my gear list, left side will be mine, right is hers:
I was missing several items when I weighed it this weekend (namely food, but w/ 3 and 2 liters of water) and I weighed in at 22 lbs, she was at 21.
1. Coleman Exponent Delta , Coleman Exponent Wisdom
2. Marmot Trestles 30 His , Marmot Trestles 30 Hers
3. Tent - REI Half Dome, footprint and rain fly (I think that was its name)
4. REI 3/4 Air Pad , REI full length air pad
5. 2 L Water Platypus and drinking tube , 3L Water Platypus & tube
6. 32 oz. Nalgene , 32 oz. Nalgene
7. Sawyer 2L gravity filtration
8. 2 Dry fit short sleeve shirts , 2 dry fit short sleeve shirts, 1 long sleeve dryfit pullover
9. Coleman rain jacket , Coleman rain jacket
10. 2 pair wool socks & 2 synthetic running socks (each)

16. 2 Sporks

38. Bag will be treated with Sawyer bug treatment before departing
Questions:
1. Any input is welcome on additions/removals
2. Should we get a couple of micro camp towels?
3. As far as long sleeves go, should we consider anything other than a rain jacket for the Georgia lower North Carolina June?
4. Any recommendations on inexpensive lighter for stoves (standard cigarette lighter?)
5. Where does one carry their sleeping pads/ I have mine running vertically up the inside of my pack, but it seems really bulky
6. Wife wants to know about a non-smelling deodorant that would be "bear safe" to wear.
7. Per undergarments, I've read "commando" is recommended from a weight and cleanliness standpoint?
