Filed under: trip information

Socks: 7 pairs; different weight; smart wool or something similar, not cotton, you might want liners, but I find that they just roll and give me blisters
Shorts: 4-5 pair, mix of synthetic athletic shorts that you can rinse out and dry overnight, and cotton heavy weight hiking shorts
Pants: I bring one pair of jeans, one pair of wind pants – ripstop nylon, parachute cloth, and a pair of long johns (not cotton)
Tops: 1 synthetic long-sleeved t-shirt, 2 tank tops, 3 sleeveless shirts, a turtle neck?
Fleece: a fleece jacket (actually I bring two – and when it’s really, really cold, I wear both, with an outer wind jacket
Wind jackets: can be a high-tech thin wind parka with or without lining, or just an old-fashioned wind breaker
Hats: sun hat with wide brim to cover ears and nose for hikes, and maybe a ball cap for daily out and about
Caps: wool or synthetic for cold – I always wear a cap to sleep in the cold – even with a mummy bag – I just get cold
Underwear: I bring about 7 days worth – we’ll hit a hotel with laundry facilities about every 6 days…
