So, I'm working on a new gear list while at the same time trying to spend as little as possible. I'm so far looking at:

1. Northface Kilo Long 30 - 2lbs, 9oz @ $165
2. Thermorest Z rest reg - 14.5 oz @ $40
3. Tarptent Rainbow - 2lbs, 2oz @ $225
4. Osprey Exos 58 - 2lbs, 10oz @ $176

That is roughly - 8lbs, 4oz @ $606

This is not for a thru hike but rather section hiking from April through November. A couple of thoughts:
1. The bag. I don't want to spend more than $200 for a bag. I don't need anything rated below 30 to 25 F.
2. I am going to use the z rest because it is cheap, light, and not likely to break down like a air pad would.
3. While I have my reservations about water tightness for the Rainbow, the weight and price are just right for me.
4. I could go lighter with a different pack but I don't want a trashbag on my back.

Anyhow, feel free to comment.
