Hi Guys,
I am trying to get my gear list together for my 2016 thru-hike and am looking for some input. I will be starting in Harper's Ferry around May 18th hiking up to Katahdin, then flipping back down to Harper's and hiking south. I am hoping to finish the first to second week of October.
My questions are:
- Since the majority of the hike will take place in the summer, will a 30 degree bag be fitting? I am a very cold sleeper so I want to keep it on the safe side.
- I have not decided on a stove and cant find a huge difference between them. Input please? I have a Jetboil that I enjoy, but it is extremely outdated and heavy.
- I believe my down jacket is a luxury, but it is lightweight and I love being able to throw it on whenever. It will also double as a pillow. But is the down jacket and a wool pullover complete overkill?
- Is there any big thing that I am forgetting?

* I have a two-person tent because my mom will be joining me for parts of the trail
* Not all items have weights, but those shouldnt be an issue
Your feedback is greatly appreciated!!!
