Equipment List

I have the tendency to haul more gear then normal; then again I am one of those people that loves gear. Actually, as much gear that appears on the gear list, it really amounts to less weight then one might think. Most of my gear is fairly current. I have been upgrading over the past two years; so much of it is compact and lightweight. However I did take a few items that were heavier and not necessary. As a direct result I carried a total 58 pounds (including fuel/food/water) at the start of the trip. By leaving out or changing around a few items I probably could have saved around 8 pounds. What actually amazed me, was what Elliot packed..... I think he took his entire pantry.
