Well I will be going on my first trip coming up in mid August via Yosemite which will be full of bugs but I will have to live with it. I have no permits but I a nice list of trails and will get a 1st come 1st serve permit. Depending what trails I can get will depend on the days out I will be anywhere from 2 to 3 nights. Ive just been thinking about my clothing and what to bring. I am pretty squared away at the moment on my gear.

Gear List

Pack: Osprey Aether 70
Tent: REI Passage 2
Sleeping Bag: Northface Cats Meow Synthetic 20*F
Stove: MSR Pocket Rocket
Headlamp: BD Storm
Water Filter: MSR Hyperflow
Sleeping Pad: ThermaRest forgot which one...

I just got a Bear Vault BV500 to fit my food (I might have a second person) my pot fits in it with my stove, fuel, plastic bowl, and spork.

I know can update the ThermaRest to a newer one but right now money is tight so I will upgrade when I can. My food is planned out and I will have it all marked in ziplock bags so I can pull out what I dont need depending on permits I get my hands on.

As far as clothing goes, I am not sure how cold it will be due to how far out it is but this is what im thinking.

Will be in Pack:
-Boxers x 2
-Smartwool Socks x 2
-Pajamas (Cotton Shirt and light gym shorts)
-Marmont Preclip Shell
-Thermal top and bottom
-Shirt x 2
-Light Weight Shorts x1
-Light Weight Pants x 1
-Long Sleeve Shirt x 1
-Fleece Vest x 1
-Pair of Merrel Trail Gloves
-Beanie

I will be wearing
-Mid Weight Cotton Hiking Pants
-Moisture wicking Shirt
-Hiking Boots
-Boonie Cap
-Sunglasses

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!
