i've been slowly getting some new gear to added to my old stuff so that i can do a 1-2 250 mile backpacking trips next summer, along with shorter weekend trips that when i have the time. im trying to go as light as possible for my base weight without spending too much. im just looking for some constructive criticism.
Gear:
Golite pinnacle pack
North face Canyonlands tent
old style Kelty +45 degree bag reg
Thermarest short neoair pad
Thermarest pillow stuff sack
Snowpeak Litemax stove w/ esbit backup
Montbell cooker #1 set
Garmin Geko 201
Cheap small blue tarp
Fenix E01 flashlight
Leatherman wave multi-tool
Poncho for rain gear
homemade toiletries and first-aid kits
iodine tablets for water purification
what i think i really need to look for next is a good deal on a jacket that's waterproof and warm enough for cool mornings. the only jacket i have right now that would be considered for my trip is my rei antifreeze down jacket, which is only water resistant and a bit overkill for warmth when hiking through Colorado during the summer.
