what we are saying is that there IS NO generic list for 4 season or even 3. You have to plan for for each trip. For instance, say you are going to the Everglades in June, or going to the Tetons in September, or going to the grand Canyon in May. With your generic list your pack will weigh too much to enjoy yourself. It would be nice if it were as simple as you think, it isn't. Many of us fine tune our gear for each and every trip, AND we have the experience to know what we will need. Rather than collecting a huge amount of new gear that you will feel compelled to take along, concentrate on basics that will get you through your intended first trips. Then you will gain the experience to know what not to take. Indeed learning what not to take is the crux of camping. Some extremely experienced people can go into areas that they know with almost nothing at all.
