Hello, I'm new to backpacking, but I love doing my own research and I have been taking a class just to make sure I don't end up lost in the woods somewhere
Anyways, I understand the concepts of layering and good materials to wear (aka, not cotton) but I am having a hard time choosing what clothing articles to buy and pack. I will be mainly backpacking for long weekends in the pacific northwest region. What articles should I bring, and what is a waste of pack space? Currently I already have long underwear (silk), two pairs of convertible pants, a wicking t-shirt, a fleece jacket and rain gear, what else should I bring, or is anything I have listed above not necessary?
Thanks!
PS (I'm a 22 year old female, so ladies advice would be great Although any is appreciated! )
