I agree with the advice here--don't sweat the details too much on your first trip. Take more than you need, and learn from the experience.

Having said that, here is a link to our equipment list---part of a new website that we are creating about for those who backpackthesierra. It has all the stuff we take, and if you explore the site a bit, it also talks about what we like, what hasnt' worked for us, and what we'd like to try in the future!
