it’s rather an incomplete list unless you’re planning on wearing nothing but your poncho in a very temperate if not tropical locale– perhaps in a nudist colony.
good taste in MLD products, though.
Sep 5, 2005 at 5:43 pm #1341254AnonymousGuestYou bring DEET? Wimp.
Sep 5, 2005 at 5:47 pm #1341255I always wear clothes when I hike. I just put the items of gear that I wear on my body & not in my pack in the bottom list. Sorry for not being more specific. If I dont mention them, people will tell me that Iam missing the essentials so I decided just to put them as worn items.

1) ACR Emergency Whistle
2) Micro Photon LED
3) Small Pocket Knife
4) Mesh Hat
5) Sunglasses
6) Small Compass
7) Emergency Poncho
8) Wicking T-ShirtAlso, I do wear DEET because if you don’t here in Arkansas, you will get eaten alive by mosquitoes & flies, etc.
9) Hiking Shorts
10) Wicking Socks
11) Trail Running ShoesSep 6, 2005 at 8:10 am #1341269Looking good. This list, in my opinion, has seen the evolution from your other extreme low weight lists, without much in the way of comfort, to a still crazy-low-weight list with a more reasonable degree of comfort, durability, and functionality. Congratulations.
No sleeping pad? Stealth camp on naturally soft site?
No extra clothes? Not even a windshirt or Dri Ducks top? I find that 100% DEET sometimes will not get it for me and our local mosquitos.
4L of H2O purification would be pushing it for me in Alabama for a weekend…I might take a few more MP1 tabs.
Glad to finally figure out where you are located. I’ve seen your other SE lists and have been interested.
