Title: Re: Packing for a solo trip Post by Solus on Jul 24th, 2016 at 10:46pm
My main secret for reducing gear to one pack; I don't fish when solo tripping.
Otherwise for shelter: A CCS 10x10 Tundra tarp, Big Agnes Copper Spur 1 tent. Sleeping: Nemo Cosmo 25 insulated pad, Enlightened Equipment down quilt, Nemo pillow, Egyptian cotton liner. Food: steel cut oatmeal and polenta with dried cherries and clarified butter for breakfast. Nuts, dried fruit, sausage/jerky some candy for lunch, Dinners of dehydrated beans (cook in 12-15min), rice with varying veggies and spices portioned and packed (about 1.5-2 cups dry/meal), a pasta meal or two, chocolate for dessert. Top quality Coffee (36oz/week). Food is packed into Sealline dry bags for transport and hanging. Cook kit: One or two pot, bowl, double walled stainless mug, titanium spork, aeropress for coffee, Dragonfly stove 44oz fuel Clothing:white merino wool t-shirt and shorts for travel, another pair of shorts and a short sleeve shirt for camp. Mid weight merino long sleeve shirt, thin nylon pants (in case the bugs get bad), a bug shirt, a couple of pairs of extra merino socks. A couple of camp towels. Clothing and sleep system are each placed in small E-vent compression sacks (water proof and pack small) Luxuries: A 7X9" Chemistry notebook journal, Kindle. Helinox chair (bringing it rules out using the smaller Granite gear pack). 8-16 oz bourbon. Various: small first aid kit, gallon size "repair" kit, two ropes and pulley for hanging, dry shoes (my bane, running shoes take up more room than clothes or sleeping bag (size 13), a dslr, 3/4 tripod, camera kit, perhaps another lens (long and heavy but with great reach), a compact camera for traveling shots. BlackDiamond headlamp. Fixed blade knife, 175gm Disccraft Frisbee. simple thwart bag contains 6litre collapsable water carrier, bungee dealees, Chrismar map (try to not use the map), sunscreen and bug dope, spot gen2 That's about it. |
