Re: Gear List

I am a little late joining this post but I've enjoyed reading everyones gear lists and comments. I 'm inspired by the multi-month long trips you have taken Rogue (cool!!) and I wish I could do the same, but for this summer I can only do three 9 day trips (each separated by a month). This list is for a 9 day SHR section next September.
The only thing I'm still thinking about changing is using DriDucks for rain gear. This would add about a 1/2 lb vs the cuben parcho/pack cover/ground sheet and chaps/pants.
Although I would bring a charger if on a month long trip, I usually just bring two extra batteries to save weight on these shorter trips.
Some of my stuff is homemade. If anyone's interested there are links next to some of the MYOG gear w/ pictures and info.
I used most of this gear on the JMT last summer and was comfortable down to 31 degrees. I like to just sleep under the stars and although there was frost on the outside of my bivy one night, I was still warm and toasty. The tarp was good during the four nights of rain last summer, although I might change to a shaped tarp with 360 degree protection (Zpacks Hexamid Solo Tent). Using a Hexamid Solo Tent would add about a 1/2 oz versus the bivy/tarp combo.
