When I'm not backpacking with my son and his Boy Scout troop, I tend to backpack with my wife.
We live in Las Vegas, and backpack in the So. NV/So. UT area, from about 2,000' up to around 12,000' elevation, and generally down to the mid 20's and up to way too hot.
My side of the gear list is designed not to change too much whether I'm backpacking with my wife or not. That is, my shelter and quilt is designed for the two of us, and I use the same whether I'm alone or with her. I know I have some room to improve my solo weight on the quilt, but my budget says it's fine for now.
My wife's side of the list is to ensure she is warm, dry, and comfortable…as is anyone's, but with a bit more built in safety.
Many of you have helped us get to where we are in our lightweight backpacking style, but this is the first time I've posted a gear list.
My gear list is posted here in my profile…
…we would love to get your input on where we can improve.
Thanks! John
