Is it to much, to little, or just right ? Jump off date is Feb 11th 0r 12th '06
Lunar Solo e' tent
Tyvek footprint
6 titanium 6" tent stakes & 1 aluminum 7"
FF Lark Down 10 degree bag
in FF and Sil bag
Ridgerest Pad 3/4
Golite Breeze w/homemade sil cover
Red Ledge Thunderlight rain jkt.
homemade rain kilt
OR rain mitts
Kitchen
MSR titanium pot
Esbit Wing Stove w/ homemade windscreen
mini-bic & waterproof matches
5 fuel tabs, this will vary as needed
Insulated cook bag
Lexan spoon
6" x 4" pack towel
Polypro stuff bag, just big enough for the Stove, PT, fuel & windscreen.
I put it all inside the pot.
Clothes
Will probably be wearing:
Patagonia nylon shorts with liner
Cool-max underwear
Smartwool T-shirt
Golite hat
Smartwool Racer Socks
TRS Comp shoes
1 pr OR low gaiters, I know some say one doesn't need them, but with my
Type II Diabetes I can't risk getting to much scree in my shoes.
1 Wenger Esquire Knife in one pocket, pebble from Springer in the other.
In the pack:
Montane wind-shirt & pants
2 pr Racers Socks
1 pr sock liners
2 pr Cool-max underwear
1 cool-max t-shirt
1 Smartwool ltg wgt bottom
I use 3 one gal freezer zip-locks for my clothes
Water
2 Platypus 1 ltr.
1 small drinking btl.
1 collapsable Peeee btl.
( don't want to get these mixed up, now do I ?, lol)
I will have Aqua Mira water treatment in my Leap-frog box and
carry in pack when I hear about particularly bad water ahead.
I have drank untreated water from most of the water holes in GA.
and had no ill effects thus far. I am sure there will be places I will need
to treat the water. Just trusting to learn about it before I get there !!
I grew up drinking untreated well water and I don't want to think
about what was in the water I drank in Vietnam....I am counting on having
a good immune system for the water, and be real careful where I get it
from too. I got a little experience with this, but no expert either.
Possibles Bag:
Black Diamond Headlight
Dr. Bonner's Peppermint Soap, 1 film canister full
Compass, Silva sm.
Ear plugs
4 Compead blister patches
3 bandaids
6" x 4" moleskin
TP, just enough I hope..
1oz Rubbing Alcohol ( I have type II diabetes and this is to keep my feet in
better shape, I hope !! )
10 Glucosimine Sufate 1000mg
5 One-a-day vitimins
5 ibuprofin 600mg
2 One Gal freezer bags
2 one Qt freezer bags
1 Packtowel 10" x 20"
3 fire starter tabs, very sm & lgt
Need a diarrhea treatment maybe ?
Inside a film canister
1 med safety pin
1 sewing machine needle with heavyweight thread
waterproof matches
P-38 can opener
All the possibles fit inside a small fine mesh bag from SD
Camera w/film and shoulder strap pouch. I will keep the camera in a 1qt
freezer zip-lock.
Food Bag will vary as needed. I really like Mac & cheese, gorp, small WW pitas, peanut butter, jelly,Parkay,etc.
Thinking I may add some kind of oatmeal & ovaltine combo for breakfast
as my appetite picks up.
Glasses(transitions) & sm wipe cloth
Homemade camp shoes
3 Rubberbands
Accu-chek Glucose checker, I will probably transfer this to my Leap-frog
box as I see how my blood sugar levels do.
Extra film, camera batts, etc. will be in my Leap-frog box
I custom made 47" wood hiking stick ( only 8 oz. by the way )
And last but not least AT Data book '04 version w/ a few small sheets of paper and golfers pencil.
I will switch out sleeping bags ( got a good 40 degree down) when needed and probably change to
my ultralite air mat too, when it warms up enough.
Can't make up my mind if I should throw in the pack the Space brand emergency bag( 3 oz) or not.
I was okay thinking I didn't need it, but Ridge as got me nervous with his rant about hypothermia.
I have never had a wet SB, but I guess it can happen huh ?
Also seriously considering leaving my watch at home to save weight
in my mind maybe. Try to get in tune with me and mother nature.
I was remembering having a fancy watch I ordered while in Vietnam today,
and I don't ever remember looking at it unless someone else ask the time.
berry berry interesting me thinks....
Well tell me what ya thinks folks and thanks in advance.....
