Howdy.

Here's the gear list and weights (as complete as I can be at the moment) for my upcoming trip to the Art Loeb Trail. I'm going a wee bit heavier than normal because I'm taking my youngest brother along. Here goes:

Total Accessories: 2lbs, 14oz* (NOTE: No FAK yet)

Notes:


  • I'm not quite happy with my sleeping bag. It was a gift, so for the money it's great. But it's a long, and I'm decidedly not. I'm looking at a few on clearance at the moment, but haven't begun to make a final decision.
  • I need a first aid kit. I'm thinking about starting with the Adventure Medical Ultralight & Watertight .5 First Aid Kit, and then tweaking it to better suit my needs. Input?
  • I'm extremely satisfied with my ENO hammock system. It's maybe heavier than I'd like, but it's so comfy that the weight trade off is worth it to me.
  • My pack is larger than needed, but I originally got it to accomodate a larger sleeping bag and a tent. I'm about to start looking for a new one, but I want to make sure the rest of my gear is set before buying the pack. Otherwise, I'm pretty darn happy with it.
  • I know food isn't included here; figure for this trip I'll be hauling about 6lbs of food total (1.5lbs per day for 4 days). My brother will be carrying his own share.


Thanks for the input!
