A gear list. I feel as though most of my life I have been pretty easy to please. I can make do with what I have, in any situation. I realize that good and bad times pass. Basic needs like food, clothing, water, shelter are things that when preparing for a hike are essential. You could say everything else is extra weight or a luxury. There was a moment on the hike when my phone fell out of my pocket and I didn't realized it was missing for two miles. Backtracking those miles in the heat of the day was hard. I thought to myself; can I live without it? Of course I can, but most of the photos on this site wouldn't be here if I didn't recover that phone. I am grateful to have recovered it, but through that wake up call, I realize that it is a luxury not a necessity on trail.

Pack base weight is around 18 lbs. I usually have a 1.5 liters or more of water depending on how far the next water source is. The rule of thumb I use is, I want a liter of water for every 5 miles. You may use more or less depending on different factors, like temperatures, terrain elevation, and weather. 1 Liter of water is equal to 2.2 lbs.

Daily meal weight varies, but somewhere around 2 lbs. per day. The trick is to mix up the flavors daily. The calories per day ranges around 3,000, with around 60 grams of protein. We used Nuun electrolyte tabs to replenish electrolytes. We made the mistake and ordered Pro Bars without trying them, we ended up packing about a weeks worth out, each. Anyone want some Pro Bars?
