2016 Bob Marshall Open

That looks like a good list for quite the adventure.

I do have a couple of questions though:

5 stakes for the Solomid XL?  Doesn’t it really need 6?

How do you like the MB Peak Shell Pants?  I recently bought a pair but haven’t tested them yet.  I am curious how breathable they are and how much you like or dislike the fabric.

Thanks for the reply.

For me I don’t think the weight saving of one stake would be worth the extra time to forage anything?  I imagine you will be so tired you will just want to set up and get some sleep.

Mine are new too. I replaced a pair of well used Golite Reeds.

Looks pretty solid.  I’d be gentle with those BD poles, after snapping a GG last year I’m going back to burly alu.  I’m also suggest that unless the forecast is stormy (we are due, last three years the weather has been pretty nice) you’ve got some fat to trim as regards insulation.  I’d dump the cap 4 hoody and fleece mitts unless things looks nasty.  I also don’t think you need extra batteries, esp with only 6 hours of darkness each night.

You’re also missing the boating gear  ;)
