I'm in the early stages of planning a trek on Baffin Island, Canada, once we are through all the pandemic shutdowns.
I'm 61 years old and my knees are not what the used to be, so I'm looking for recommendations for a lightweight pack, bag and tent for a 8-9 day unsupported trek. Need to carry all the food for that time. I'm a photographer, so I will be bringing a camera kit with tripod along. I need to trim weight to keep it manageable. Temperatures will be 30's/50's F night/day. My early look at gear show the Hyperlite 4400 or 5400 packs might be a good choice, MSR Access tent for windy conditions and possible snow. Any thoughts on other options, and recommended sleeping bags for 20's or teens to be safe. I'll be looking for this gear used if I can find it.
