So as I posted in the Trip Planing section, I am coordinating a fishing trip to the Bob Marshall wilderness in late July 2011. I have minor hiking experience, so I got put in charge of planning everything When I was a younger fitter man I did a trek in Philmont, NM so this gear list is based on that BSA list with some modification. This list is mostly just suggestions for the rest of the group, since most of them have less hiking experience than I do. I realize that this is more than most of you would carry, but is there anything on here that is a complete waste? Am I missing anything vital?

Planned for 9 days Back Country.
