I've been meaning to take pics of all my gear right before I pack it up, so maybe I'll do that tonight.
Packed up tonight for a trip this weekend and decided to finally do this.
On this trip, I am bringing:
- Gregory 65L pack
- 50 feet of nylon rope for hanging tarps, food bags, whatever else
- Rain jacket, rain pants
- Big Agnes 1 man tent (that thing weighs under two pounds!)
- Mountain Hardwear 32 degree sleeping bag. It's that orange thing in the top right corner, it weighs 1lb and packs down smaller than a football. It's my favorite piece of gear I have.
- Thermarest sleeping pad
- MSR gravity powered water filter
-
Alite backpacking chair (these things fucking RULE, they look awkward but they're ultralight and super comfortable, Max knows... ask him.)
- Silk sleeping bag liner which lowers my bags temperature rating by 10 degrees (makes it warmer, more or less)
- GSI soloist cookset. When I pack, that gas can over there fits into the cooking pot.
- Black Diamond mini lantern. I just got this yesterday, never used it before. Heard good things, I hope it lives up to the hype.
- Small first aid kit with all the essentials
- Two Petzl headlamps, my other favorite piece of gear. Never ever leave home without a backup light.
- Wet wipes. These things are a real luxury in the woods. Small, cheap and light enough to justify for any sort of trip.
- Gas can I mentioned earlier. This will last all weekend for the minimal cooking I will be doing.
- Soto stove. It's hard to see in the pic but it is right on top of the fuel canister, in a black pouch. I just got this too, and haven't used it yet but I know it's going to rock. It screws right on top of that can.
- Gerber mini hatchet. This thing is tiny and is really only good for chopping kindling and small logs and branches. It will suffice for this trip.
- Smartwool socks. Love these guys.
- Campin' cup! This is what I drink my beer out of all weekend
- Thermal underwear. It's still not that warm at night here, especially in the mountains.
- Gregory pack cover. This thing will stretch over my entire pack and keep it dry, in case it rains while we're walking in.
- Sea to Summit dry bag. Two of these here, one with some stuff in it (toilet paper). Good for storing food and toiletries and various things that need to stay dry.
- 10'x12' blue tarp. Forecast calls for lots of rain this weekend, so tarp town is coming with us!
Under the tarp is a pair of jeans and a couple shirts. Here's everything packed.
I'm going to try and remember to take pics of some of this shit in action this weekend
