JMT/SHR late September gear list – advice?

Seems pretty complete.  I don’t see any oversights.

The two concerns/cautions I’d have are about volume in the BV500 for a week of food – definitely doable, but it may effect your menu choices.  And confirm that the BV500 fits well in or on your Osprey Pack.

I’d agree that mosquitos shouldn’t be bad that late, that high.  And if you get some freezing nights, that really knocks them down.

You didn’t ask about weight savings.  (Personally, I wouldn’t bring the hammock, but you like it so) the pack is one place to save 1 to 1.5 pounds.  You’re aware of the pot being heavy.

Let September, that high, and you could get some snow.  Nothing that will stick for long, but a half day spent in wet slushy snow can make for miserable feet. Check the long-range forecasts as you head out and consider one pair of warmer socks if storms are a possibility.

Clothing seemed a bit much, until I consider that it’s getting into Fall.

Hi David, thank you very much for the reply! I just got back from doing the Big SEKI Loop, where I was able to fit 7 days of food in the BV500, so I’m set there. I’ve dropped the hammock since it’ll be too cold after all, and will be bringing waterproof boots + 3 total pairs of socks. Appreciate the advice!
