ok guys i have been about 60 miles on the trail and am trying to get my gear to achieve mac performance and be pretty light. what i am looking for is opinions on what i have and what i can change. i have 2 packs right now that i cant decide on to use. i have carried them both but they have their differences.
Gregory z pack 3300ci
go lite jam 3000ci
my gear currently in use
shelter:2lbs
HH asym UL with stock tarp
WM blue pad
reflectix barrier
Sleeping bag: 3.25 lbs
marmot 25 syn
homemade fleece liner
cook system: 8 oz
SP 700 Modified handles and jet boil lid
homeade stove, screen, stand
first aid: 8.0z
clothing depends on weather usually runs around 3-4lbs
food usually 3-4 lbs
water 4lbs
i always carry these items:
pocket torch
gerber mini saw
matches
gerber mini tool
sewing kit
50 para cord
dri ducks poncho
small travel bible
i will add thing later if i remember what i have forgotten. i am thinking about making my own tarp so i can have a larger one. i am looking for and reccommendations and any opinions. you wont hurt my feelings. ususally the max is 4 days on the trail for me. i am still learning every time out. i do have a question about the reflectix stuff. its very similar to the sun shades at local auto parts store. is this the same stuff?? also thinking about making an UQ
