Gear List

HELLO AGAIN

Lets talk gear.

 This is it. Well, not including food but this is it. Starting from the middle cushion we've got:

• Exoficio Underwear (2pairs) - This stuff is supposed to be great (I'll let you know how it really does in a few days). It is stretchy, moisture wicking, and antimicrobial so it shouldn't smell all that bad even after a few days
• Darn Tough Socks (3pairs) - Good Wool socks. Made in USA. Lifetime warrantee. Works for this guy.
•  Short sleeve wicking shirts (2) - For walking during the day. I could probably get by with one while its cold, but it might save a maildrop down the road, and they don't weigh much
• Long Sleeve thermal shirt - For camp and really cold days. 
• USB Charger - 3 usb cables and a multi-charger. Each plug has 2.3 amps available, so hopefully I can charge all of my devices quickly when we're in a good place.
  
  Right cushion
• Frogg Toggs rain gear. Top and pants. Good, lightweight rain gear which is only $20 in WalMart
• Marmot NeverWinter 30 degree bag
• Thermarest z-lite pad
  
  On the floor
• Eureka Apex 2xt tent. Its missing the rainfly right now because Carl MacDonald Jr. is irresponsible. Seriously man, I'm pissed. We're going to search his house today to try to get it, if not we'll use Sam's tent, which is similar. 
• Crocs - Camp shoes
• Trekking poles - with duct tape attached.
• 3 L smart water bottles - These fit on my filter so they make for great containers. $1 a piece at Wally World and they don't weigh anything empty.
• Osprey Atmos 65L pack - Mmmmm so comfy

• The Yellow bag is a dry bag by Sea to Summit - Its my conveniences kit
• 200 Acetaminophen capsules - hopefully worth the weight
• AWOLs 2014 NOBO Guide. Might come in handy.
• Moleskin journal and pencil. For poetry, sketching, and drafting blog posts
• Playing cards - for hearts.
• The ziplock is my toiletries. 2 oz of Dr. Bronners 18 in 1 soap. Toothbrush and travel paste, TP.
• The pill bottle contains doxycycline - an antibiotic which we can use as against lyme disease.
• Squirt Juice stuff. To make water a bit tastier 
• 4 Blistex sticks. I always lose these and chapped lips ruin my day. I'll be tucking these everywhere in my kit.
• Crazy Glue - First aid and gear repairs.
• Aquamira - for if the filter freezes
• Sawyer Squeeze water filter - fits on the Smart Water bottles and only costs $25. Best filter on the market.
• Orange dry-bag has an extra USB battery, 2 AAA batteries, a bic, and will carry my phone to keep it safe.
• Headlamp
• Retainer case
• Cold Weather clothing - gloves, neck warmer, hat, 
• The red bag at my feet has the...

FOOD

I'm not going to go over all this, but lets just say its all "Just add water!".

6 days worth of food (hopefully) only cost about $70. Right on target, and should definitely get us through Suches. I'll tell you more interesting things about food once the thru-hiker appetite settles in and we get practiced. 

Anyways, Off to harass Carl about that rainfly.
