Over the past 9 months or so I have been reading up on blogs and other online resources to see what kind of gear I will need for my hike. I literally had zero campamping equipment as of last November. After reading up on equipment, I decided to start making some purchases. What you see below is what I will be using for my hike on the JMT.
Note, that many backpackers these days like to go "ultralight" and carry as little extra weight as possible. While this is a great tactic, it sometimes is not practical. I want to enjoy my time on the trail and have certain items. I have remained weight conscious but will not sacrifice items that I want to save a couple of ounces.
Gear:
Osprey Exos 58 Pack
Marmot Trestles 30 Sleeping Bag
Marmot Limelight 2 person Tent
Alps Mountaineering Sleeping pad
Osprey 2.5 Litre H2O Reservoir
Black Diamond Trekking Poles
Osprey Pack Raincover
Alcohol Stove Kit (In Green Stuff sack)
Clothes:
Patagonia Nano Puff Pullover
Columbia Silver Ridge Convertible Pants
Merrell Ventilator Boots
Eddie Bauer Quarter Zip Pullover
Marmot Shell Rain Jacket
Marmot Beanie
North Face Gloves
DriFit Shorts (Camp clothes)
Cotton Thermal Long Sleeve (Camp clothes)
North Face Long Underwear
Compression shorts.
Bandana.
And yes, this will on fit in that backpack with my food!
