Hi,
we are travelling over to the States in mid November to make arrangments/final planning but more importantly to buy gear to trail test before march start.
Having researched items over here in the U.K. having little advice/reviews for long term hiking,these are the items we think will buy unless you tell us there are some mistakes!
For two travelling ,tenting most nights, bias to comfort rather than lightest possible weight,
Ice-breaker merino wool;
long and short sleeved base layer tops,
long thermal pants,
mid layer zipped top
Nlyon running shorts
Arc'teryx gamma mx hoody's
Montaine Lightweight waterproofs jacket & leggings
Couple of buffs
Fleece wind proof gloves/hat
Smartwool socks
Small gaiters
Trail approach type shoes (N.B. salomon,) or even trail/fell runners(inov8 mudrocks)
Mountian equipment sleepwalker sleeping bags
Osprey ruck sacks
Primus pocket rocket type stove
Snowpeak titanium cook set (what litre pots for two?, eating same food)
Hilleberg nallo 2gt tent
what do you think, is there better suited items,how about down jackets for warth/pillows, will we ever be able to carry that lot,
thanks in advance Woolfie & G.G.
