Gear list

This may be less interesting to some of you (or perhaps "even more boring" is the way to put it), but the gear list seems to be pretty much a standard part of every hiking website, so here's mine:

Pack: Osprey Atmos 50
Miscellaneous Granite Gear stuff sacks
Jacks R Better pack cover

Shelter: Warbonnet camping hammock
Speer Winter tarp (spring/fall)
MacCat Deluxe tarp (summer)

Sleep: Jacks R Better Nest underquilt
Jacks R Better No Sniveller top quilt
$5 CCF pad from Wal-mart

Eat: Jetboil PCS stove
spork

Drink: Iodine to purify water

Wear: Fleece jacket
Dri Ducks rain gear
Hiking pants
2 microfiber t-shirts
2 pair socks
2 pair sock liners
Gloves
hat
lacy unmentionables by Nike

Miscellaneous other things:

Olympus Stylus 790 camera
Biodegradable toilet paper
Bug spray
First aid kit
Leatherman Micra multitool
maps
Credit cards
Headlamp
MP3 player
Bible

And a whole buncha other crap. My gear weight, including clothes, is something like 28 pounds. Add on to that about 2-2.5 pounds of food per day (heavier leaving town, lighter when heading in for resupply), and 1-8 pounds of water carried at any given time, and my total "skin out" weight will be 35-45 pounds. This is about average.
