    Default All my gear.

    So....I actually took the time and inventoried my gear last night. I don't take it all when I go out, I just pack what the trip dictates. This is just literally ALL my crap (minus clothes and footwear because that seems to always be changing).

    Gear List – February 2015

    Backpack - Osprey Atmos 50 Large w/bladder and rain cover (Ordering an Atmos 65 soon)
    Sleeping bag - Marmot Trestles 30
    Tent – Nemo Obi 1P w/footprint tarp (Super light, but hard to find these tents)
    Big Agnes Q-core sleeping pad
    Mountain Smith Trekking Poles (cheap from Academy)
    Sawyer Mini water filter w/extra bag
    JetBoil Flash
    Various diddy bags for organizing random stuff in my pack
    ½ Roll TP (don't laugh)
    Bear Grylls Camp pillow (got it free)
    2 – 1L collapsible water bottles (cheap from Walmart and work awesome)
    Headlamp (again, a cheap one from Walmart that works just fine)
    Life Gear Flashlight (These things are AWESOME and cheap)
    50 ft paracord (got it from my local farm supply store for a dollar)
    Bandana (wet it and hang it around my neck on hot days)
    Gloves
    Beanie hat for cool mornings
    Toothpaste/Toothbrush (Travel size)
    Homemade 1st aid kit (includes bandaids, nail clippers, a razor blade, ibuprofen, visine, and wet wipes)
    8 inch hunting knife
    Jungle hat
    Rescue whistle
    4 – lightweight carabiner clips (these are cheap and come in handy for hanging clothes or food up)
    iPhone (mainly for pictures)

    At least you'd be free to explore the depths of gear addiction. She's holding you back man!
