I love all the replies, thanks everyone. I'm going to work down my list with some changes that you all have suggested.
Pants - Dropping the shorts and pants and getting the Campmor Convertable travel pants - 75430
Torso - I am going to get the $60 classic frog toggs instead of the rain suit and parka. But does the fleece need to be high tech- or will any fleece sweater do? Being cold and wet is my biggest worry on the trail.
Cookware - I'm dropping the 2 pot set and going down to Walmart tomorrow to get one 1L pot. Dropping the small cup, but I want to keep my insulated mug as I am a coffee and tea addict. The nalgenes were for holding loose food like rice or oatmeal as well as water, so I am still going to bring 2 for food, but I'll use gatorade bottles for my water. I am going to take out the flint fire starter, but I am still going to bring some matches in a film container just in case along with 2 Bic lighters.
Tent - I am going to switch over to the tent suggested by TomWC (
http://www.sportsauthority.com/sm-al...i-3093717.html) and go for aluminum gutter nails for the pegs. The 100ft of rope was misleading, I am only going to bring 50 ft at the start, and have extra if I need it mailed out. The same goes for my 2 emergency blankets. I have the Ursack on there since I don't feel 100% confident on my bear bagging skills, but do not want to slack on keeping safe either.
Pack - I will get a different rain cover, but I think I am going to order my gear first and measure the size of everything packed to avoid a lot of empty space on the rain cover.
On my walmart trip I am going to try and find a cheaper pack towel.
Oh and I do not know the specs of the sleeping bag, but my roomate tarped around Utah during the winter, so I am sure it will get me through the cold nights in the first few months. I am very nervous of the cold. After that I've got other bags I can borrow from another hiking friend.
I'll re-post my list when I get back to my usual computer in a few days, for you all to rip through again. Thanks so much everyone!
