This is a list of the equipment we have carried
at the start of each hike. We left the information from
earlier hikes in the table so you could see the changes in our thinking. We feel
comfortable carrying less equipment than on our earlier hikes. You may not feel
comfortable with this equipment list and should carry the equipment that you
feel comfortable with. As you will hear hikers saying "YMMV" - Your
Mileage May Vary.
Here is the evolving list of our equipment. The weights were taken from a
digital scale in the local Post Office lobby.
