Gear bucket list

mec gift card … thats all i need

i already have most the gear i need … what i dont have tends to be something for specialized purposes …

what i do need is more money to go out and have fun …. not gear ;)

Not that I need anymore gear until something wears out but this is what I have ready for trips. The idea is that I can get ready for a weekend trip in as little as an hour.

In my go box:
First aid kit
Toiletries Kit (sunscreen, lip balm, bodyglide, baby powder, toothpast, toothbrush, hand sanitizer)
Essentials Kit (knife, lighter, matches, headlamp, spaceblanket, papper, pen, tenacious-tape)

Water treatment
(2)water bottles
Coffee filter for filtering out the big junk
cut down soft sided canteen for scooping up water

(3) stuff sacks

Tarp
Bivy
Inflatable Pillow
C.C.F sit pad

Fleece hat
Fleece Gloves
Sleeping socks
XL ziplock bag used as packliner

Caldera Cone w/ container
Ti Pot
Sport
Oska Plate

Hanging up nearby:
Sleeping bag
Pack
Sleeping Pad
Puffy Jacket
Puffy Pants
Maps and field guides w/ compass

In the fridge:
Ziplock bags of home made dehydrated dinners, just scoop up a cup and go.
Gernola
Energy Bars
Energy Gell
Powdered drink mixes
Peanut butter M&M's and snickers bars.

Man, you are looking in the wrong end of the telescope. It ain't about the gear, it's about where you are going. Plan the trip. Take what you need.

Enjoy the adventure. Repeat.

Do not confuse the gear with the adventure.

I think that for most (if not all of us), the experience/adventure absolutely trumps the gear in terms of importance.

However, that doesn't stop the gear from being fun, both in the ways it sometimes enhances the experience, and in and of itself. Not as something replacing/being confused for adventure, but something separate and enjoyable in its own right. At least for many of us.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Nor with threads like this one.

I think the number one piece of gear on my "bucket list" would have to be a decent sewing machine.

I'd love to someday own a cuben flat tarp. I'd also love to have one of the new wpb uber-fabric shells that are hitting the market these days. That and a cuben down quilt… really all I want to do is fit a three-season multi-day setup into one of these: http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/50313_2615836999_120_n.jpg

I technically already can with what I own now, but it comes pretty close to bursting the seams and requires maximum use of the side mesh pockets and the stuff straps on the outside. A backpack inconspicuous in urban settings but containing all I need to hit the trail is my ideal.

I thought this was going to ge a bucket list of gear u want but don't have yet. U know. Some day dream gear

A car? A plane? All I want is ride to all the trailheads around the world, and a watch that ticks the time away a whole lot slower.
