I am hiking the Rae Lakes loop in the beginning of Sept and unfortunatly the guy I was going with can't make it any more so I am going solo. I would like some advice on what to bring to save some weight now that I can't split gear.
The tent I have is a mid 5lb 2 man. I have the option of leaving the rain fly at home, do the footprint and rainfly combination and leave the tent, or just suck up the extra weight. Or I can just rent a 1 man tent.
What cloths do I need? I was thinking 2 t-shirts, lightweight longsleeve wool shirt, and my softshell for upper body. Some shorts and lightweight nylon long pants for night. Will this be enough?
Any advice would be great as I don't do alot of backpacking. I plan on doing the loop in 4-5 days depending on how I feel. Thanks so much.
