Comfortable LW gear list < 10.5 lbs

Thanks for the comma separated value (CSV) trick. Very useful.

You didn't share where or how you plan to use this list, making it pretty hard to offer any insights.

I started a thread titled:

I started this thread because there are some key points that really help when you post a gear list.

Trim this down a little.

Thanks all for the replies & insight. I plan to use this in the Los Padres National Forest-San Raphael Wilderness (CA). Trip is set for end of March. I do have a lot of stuff sacks! I like to be organized. The mesh bag is for food storage/bear bagging. The compression sack is for clothes and a necessity to get it to fit. I do plan to trim down a little eventually. Baby steps. I tend to go with a few people so the water filter is convenient, I do take drops if someone else has a filter.

I used the "Gram Weenie" app it exports in a spreadsheet friendly format. Not a bad app for .99. Stay away from it unless you want to spend a few hours tweaking on your gear list though.

How did the trip work out?
