I've been messing around with my gear list(s) and came up with a category I haven't noticed before on other lists. I label it "Trailhead" and it includes everything I will wear or carry when starting out. All of these items are placed in an REI Flash 18 daypack so that everything is together all in one place when I need it.
Here are the items for my next trip:
TRAILHEAD:
Poly shirt
Beartooth Hoody
NF Pants
REI Short Gaiters
GoLite Ether wind jacket
Smartwool socks
Keen Obsidian
Bandana
Sun hat
Patagonia glove liners
Smartwool Headband
MLD Mitten Shells
REI Mini Multi-tool
Maps
Ipod shuffle & earbuds
Sunscreen, carmex, purell
Canon A590
First day snacks
Journal & pencil
Trekking pole
My others headings are:
Clothing-Packed
Big 3 (more than 3 items)
Kitchen
Ditty bag
Maybe this is a common way of doing it, just haven't seen it and thought I would share!
