MY FAVORITE GEAR

Western Mountaineering 20 degree bag (actually warm down to 20 degrees unlike some other bags that make false claims)

L.L. Bean merino wool long sleeve shirt (warm and resistant to picking up odor)

Keen hiking shoes (lasted over 1,100 miles)

Darned Tough socks (made in Vermont, lifetime guarantee)

Neo Air XL sleeping pad (punctured once, easily repaired)

Thinsulate Fleece Gloves

Buff (neck warmer) - also used it as a pillow case, with a down vest stuffed inside

2 L Platypus water bag (screw top, no ziplock opening)

Long handle spoon (that dips nicely into ziplock bags, gift from Lingo)

Safetec Lip Balm packets (tiny, ultralight)
