GEAR
Here's my current gear list! I've spent many hours researching and reading reviews, and think this is a good starting list. I already had a good portion, and was able to accumulate the rest over several years. My lighterpack list is below! My baseweight is around 19 lbs - I'm lightweight when I can, but am definitely more of a comfort-over-weight person.
