Patagonia mid weight camp top: did you mean to add two mids?

I like to keep my headlamp easily accessible.

Are you putting together a little 1st aid kit?

Chub rub?

[coyote9]

Also havnt found need for a pack cover. Ive used contractor or compactor bags (military and civ) for a long time and its all Ive needed.

[JEgestad]

try using www.lighterpack.com much easier to see what is what

[Shrewd]

The patty thermal weight is going to be my standard wear around midnmayer, 2)243 as the mid weight is going to be my camp/sleep shirt (I already had one)

in warmer weather I'll swap it out for another Tee

chub rub, thigh glide, whatever you like to call your anti chafe stuff

[Shrewd]

Gah, phone typo, what patagucchi calls their midweoght is going to be my cold weather camp shirt

List looks pretty good to me. I would bring one more platypus dirty water bag for a couple of reasons: 1. If you hit some dry areas, you may end up needing to carry more water than what you currently have capacity for, and 2. When you get to camp, the water is not always close to the shelter. It is sometimes very far down a steep hill. You may only want to walk that once and carry 4 liters back with you for camp.

Others may disagree with me, but I notice you didn't have any camp shoes listed (or I missed it). Many think they are not useful, but I have hiked both with them and without them. For the minimal weight they add, I find them useful. If your feet are soaked, you can wear them with dry socks and help your feet recover. Also, it is nice to wear them after hiking in your shoes all day to let the feet breathe and decompress. I have some knock off crocs I got at Mountain Crossings called Waldies. You can always pick a pair up later if you find you would like to use them.

I agree with the camp shoes. Love em

As for the OP water system what I do is I have a 1L Evernew I for dirty and fill a SW bottle to drink, fill again to hike with. When I get to camp I take out a second Evernew 1L and fill that plus my bottle. Never need more water.

On a side note, I do like to carry a gatorade bottle for nighttime biz or for hot water if its crazy cold for my feet.

I didn't see mention of a compass, map or trowel.

Compass and map are unnecessary weight on the AT.
A trowel makes life a lot easier, but a hole can be dug with rocks, sticks, or fingers.

[johnupton318]

I also agree with bringing camp shoes. As far as soap, I carriered none. Only a tiny bottle of hand sanitizer. Also, an extra platypus, as mentioned before, wouldn't hurt. You may find yourself wanting to fill plenty at camp. Also, I busted a few platypuses on my hike, so it's good to have a backup. Plus, they weigh less than an oz.

[Shrewd]

Thanks for the responses. I actually want camp shoes but figured I'd wait till it was warm enough to wear flip flops (or crocs...I'd heard there was a lighter knock off but had forgotten the name. Thanks man!)
i may carry both a Gatorade and a smart water bottle (for backflushing), and\or I'll bring the cheap 1L bag that comes with the sawyer.

no comps or map, just a guidebook and/or phone guthook app

A smart water bottle sport too will
fit in a platy bag as well. I pack a top and just use my clean water bag as a squirted to back flush.

Now I'm wondering if my 20 degree quilts will be warm enough...maybe I should get a silk bag liner and/or and underquilt protector just in case..?

"Now I'm wondering if my 20 degree quilts will be warm enough"
Do a search for "shug emery hammock" and watch some of his videos on hammock gear, might help. (I sleep on the ground)

I use a sea to summit cotton silk liner. It probably adds a little warmth, but I primarily use it to keep my bag clean. I have never been cold in my 20 degree bag, but have probably only been as cold as the high 20's.
