“However, I did post one of my older gear lists with my profile on BPL and it has been roundly ignored.”

I don’t think it has been ignored. I love it when people post their gear lists with their profile. It tells me a lot of their background and then I understand their posts better.

I ended up posting my partial gear list; the things I take the most often. Otherwise there are so many things that change every single trip:
Socks, PJ’s, hats, First Aid, bandana, toiletries, etc.
