If you know of a good gear list that seems to be complete but light weight can you please post a link. My list is almost done and I'd like to do some comparisons. Thanks. 2013 NOBO Mid-March.

You're welcome! It's not the lightest, but it's a pretty good benchmark. The article on the preceding pages is interesting as well.

Give us some idea how much $ you want to spend and how much you want to carry, as well as when/where you want to hike and we can be a bit more helpful. You could get a few things better/lighter if you want to spend a lot more money (especially the shelter and raincoat)

For a mid/late march start this would probably be fine:

As a starting point...

O2 rainwear hooded jacket $30, 5 oz

Medium weight long sleeve shirt (bring 2 if you're afraid of cold)
Medium weight long sleeve pants optional
fleece hat
2 pairs 1/4 length rurnning socks
1 pair heavyweight wool socks
running shoes/train runners/sandals bought 1 size too large
cotton bandanna
add some shell gloves if you use trekking poles. Otherwise not needed.

Cooking:
home made Supercat alcohol stove 1 oz, $1
1L titanium pot 5 oz, $50
Titanium spoon 1 oz, $20
1 20oz bottled-water bottle for alcohol fuel
3x 32 oz gatorade bottles 5 oz total
aqua mira, 3 oz
2 mini-lighters (bics are fine)

mp3 player that runs off of aaa batteries
ALDHA trail companion, print pages off about 3 resupplies ahead

There's a bunch, and I'm sure you saw the ones on the homepage here? Skurka has a bunch for various types of trips/expeds
