Kayla's Gear List

Here is my gear list, still need to make some minor adjustments, add prices and weight to some items. My best advice is to shop around, don’t buy everything full price, REI is amazing! And if you become a member you can go to their garage sales every month and find great deals! If you have any questions just email me (kplaso@kent.edu) or message me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/kayla.plaso).

Pack- Gregory Jade 60, 3lbs. 15oz. Lots of back support and sweet color, got it on sale for $93 dollars

Sleeping Bag- REI Flash, very lightweight, 800 Fill-Power Goose Down + Primaloft $150 dollars because I needed an extra long bag for my long legs!

Sleeping Pad- Therm-a-Rest Trail Lite, $70 dollars

Tent- Six-Moon Duo Lunar 2 person tent. Dan and I will be splitting up the weight on this to make it easier for the both of us.

Cook Set-

Pot: Pinnacle Soloist, $45 dollars

Stove: Optimus Crux Lite, $35 dollars

Fuel $5 dollars and Spork $10 dollars

Trekking Poles- Black Diamond, Mountain Series $80 dollars, tested these out and really liked them and understood importance of trekking poles on the trail, there are more expensive ones that cost $150 that I would consider getting to last longer and be more durable but I am hoping I can make these poles last the whole way, will keep you updated with this.

Water Source- Sawyer Squeeze Mini, $20 dollars along with carrying some kind of water or Gatorade bottle for water, a 1-liter platypus, $10 dollars, and a 3 liter platypus, $25 dollars

Head Lamp- nothing fancy here, just found one at a REI garage sale for $25 dollars, TIKKA XP2, takes AAA batteries

50 foot nylon cord for my bear bag rope, $5 dollars

Toiletries- hand sanitizer, toilet paper, baby wipes, birth control, medicine, band-aids, contacts, glasses, toothbrush, toothpaste, campsuds, duck tape, small brush, deodorant, safety pins, and small nail clippers. This is a long list of a lot of stuff I made not need, will test my pack weight soon and figure out what I need to get rid of.

Electronics- IPhone 5 plus charger, possibly sharing a camera with Daniel to shoot more videos and quality pictures, and an external charger of some kind.
