Well call me lazy but I dont want to put in every item into the gear pages so just posting a run down here. All weights are in ounces. This is most everything including carried items. It doesnt have food water or fuel listed. I am adding a hip belt pocket to my pack which is not listed and looking to get an additional hat for sleeping. Also cant decide if I want to bring my gaiters. I worry about being cold around camp if the temps are going to be too cold on wet days but if its wet I will probably be in the tent and it wont matter. I am going to wear my boots for the first part of the journey and then switch to the low top version after a few weeks or so I believe, already own them just not sure what I will start with.Went for a hike carrying my pack with 4 liters of water and gear today for a total of 27 pounds. Went about 5 miles in 2.5 hours on the Grapevine Lake trail. Good trail to practice on that is somewhat near my house, and the closest trail I know of that isnt paved. Its only about 20 miles away. Boy I cant wait to get out of the city. Enjoy any questions or comments about the gear let me know.Cooking        WeightEverNew Ti 1300ml Pot        6Bruton Talon Stove        3.6WindScreen        1.3Lighter        0.7Scrubber/Rock Bag Niteize Biner/Rope for Bear Line        2.2Sea to Summit Ti Long Spoon        0.5Stuff Sack        0.6Pack Towel        0.4                Shelter        TarpTent Rainbow        39.8Tyvek Ground Sheet        4.1                Sleeping        MontBell Spiral Down Hugger 15        33.2Big Agnes Insulated AirCore        22                Packing        Gossamer Gear Mariposa        29Pack Liner Compactor Bag        2.1S2S Sil Pack Cover         3.5                Misc        Pen        0.2Journal w/Ziplock        4.9Cell Phone/Spare Battery/EarPhones        9.1TP and WetWipes        7.3Olympus Tough 6020/Charger Spare Battery        10.1Gorilla Tripod        1.5Komperdell Hiking Poles        13Pack Towel        1.4AT Guide        8.2Misc Stuff/Dry Sacks         2.9Leatherman Squirt/Mini Biner        2.2                Water         AquaMira        6Nalgene Bottle 32oz        6.3MSR Dromedary 4lt        4.9                Ditty Bag Misc        Petzl Elite        1.1ToothBrush        0.5Mini Cards        1.4Germ-X        2.5Sunscreen        1.3DuctTape        1.2Dr. Bonners        2Floss        0.5Carmex        0.5Misc Medicines        1.1Mesh Bag        0.5Sleeping Pad Patch Kit        0.4Deodorant        3.6                First Aid Kit        2.8Tweezers        Bandages        Anitbiotic Ointment        Lighter w Needle Attached        Safety Pins                        ClothingCasio Sport PathFinder Watch        2.1Orange Bandana        1.3Marmot DriClimeJacket        10Keen Voyageur Boots        37.4Crocs        11.9Columbia Fleece Hat         3.1Facemask        1OR Meteor Mitts        8.9Wool Midweight Socks x1        5.1Smartwool Light Weight Socks x2        6.8Icebreaker Lightweight Top         7.6UnderArmor BaseGear 1 Bottoms        4.2UnderArmor BaseGear 2 Top&Bottom        11.7North Face Convertible Pants        17.6Alpine Designs Longsleeve Shirt        8.7UnderArmor Briefs x2        5.6Montbell UL Down Parka        9.5Montbell UL Down Pants        7.1Clothing Stuff Sack/Pillow        1.7Dri Ducks        10        Total 412.6
