Oh, another overall observation. Your gear is on the cheap side. Walmart tents may be great new, but some of this cheaper gear does not wear well and can fail on long trips. In fact some cheap shoes actually fall apart if you are out several weeks. On a long trip, I take enough duct tape to keep shoes together if needed and a small spool of thread (or dental floss) and needle, a few spare buttons, a few safety pins, a few extra clevis pins for external frame packs, and enough parachute cord (about 20 feet) to fix a broken pack strap (I have had to do this before)or use as shoe laces, replace lost tent string and repair other things. My husband once split out the seat of his pants and repaired them with moleskin! I have had to sew up various rips. Last year a zipper failed on a jacket, so I sewed it up into an anorack using dental floss.
