It's in my profile. Comments and suggestions appreciated.
This is for a 4 day trip to the Smokies in late July. The same gear will also be used for a 3 day trip again to the Smokies over Labor Day.
I may go no cook just because it will be so hot. Not sure if I need the sleeping bag again because of heat. Also undecided about taking any long pants/long sleeve jacket or shirt. I'm just not sure if the temps will dip that much in the evening but I am a COLD sleeper.
We will be hiking around Clingman's Dome area so the elevation of the shelters/camps will be about 3,500ft.
Thanks for any input. I got back into backpacking Jan. 08 and started with all my old gear, circa 1990's, that weighed in around 35lbs on an overnight. I've been making purchases to drop my gear weight ever since and finally feel like I'm almost where I want to be.
EDIT- night 1 will be at 3,000ft, night 2 at 3,200ft, and night 3 at 4,000ft.
