My xul gear list

[Look Here to post an readable gear list.]

What's this 9oz shirt?

A little more detail on the items would be helpful to fully understand what you're packing.

This list is missing alot of safety items.

Medical- NOTHING (could improvise)
Shelter- poncho, ground sheet; NO STAKES OR CORD
Fire- alcohol stove; NO FIRE STARTER (may be included in alcohol stove weight)
Hydration- two platypus containers; NO WATER TREATMENT
Communication- NOTHING
Navigation- NOTHING
Nutrition- consumables
Insulation- pad, quilt, fleece beanie
Sun Protection- hat, pants, shirt
Tools- NO CUTTING TOOL

? stripped down E's- not clear

Yes, more details (i.e. alky system, ocf pad dimensions, stripped-down E's) would be helpful.

In addition to items pointed out by others, I don't see any kind of cutting tool, like a knife, nor an insulating layer. While NM is admittedly unusually dry this year, what happens if you did get wet and/or it turned unexpectedly cold? Not a problem for a fast overnighter, but could get nasty fast on a longer hike. You can't stay in your quilt forever.

IMO, the content of one's gear kit – whether XUL, SUL, UL, LW, or everything but the kitchen sink – should be defined relative to (1) where one is going, (2) the expected weather, and (3) the length of time between re-supply stops and/or the total length of the hike. Longer hikes may require that one swap out items to meet anticipated changes.

It is logical to assume that a summer overnight or weekend hike in a dry environment can get by with less than would be needed for a week-long early spring or late fall slug through the North Cascades.

If one is willing to compromise safety (if I don't use it every day, why carry it?), one can legimately argue otherwise. Items such as the already-mentioned first aid kit and insulating layer, plus a repair kit come readily to mind.

As always, knowledge and experience weigh nothing and should, IMO, be the required basis for lightening one's kit.

The 9oz Shirt was a Columbia fishing shirt I replaced that with a short sleeve synthetic. The strippe down e's include a firstsid kit strait edge razor photon light lighter 5 waterproof matches the pad is 17×38. I use my quilt as insulation in the morning and evening those are the only times I'm not moving I hike 8-12 hours a day. I replaced my 9 ounce shirt with a 4.5 one plus a widshirt. And replace my pants and underwear with running shorts with a liner ditched the undies. And a pair of wind pants. This kit is for temps down to high 30s at night but the daytime temps are hovering at 70-80 so wearable insulations isn't a big deal if I'm cold before bed or when packing up I wear my quilt or my wind pants and shirt. Sorry for the lack of info guys this is my gram wennie app that the gear lists are on and I name things what I call them so sometimes names make no sense
