Started my own thread for this without reading, but can anyone give my gear list a look? Leaving on a Yurop hike soon
Current gear:
>Columbia Outdry Caldorado jacket
>Waterproofed Sol Escape bivy
>450g down quilt
Sewn through baffles aren’t a problem in a bivy, right?
>drybag backpack
>torso length ridgerest
>alchohol stove and lighter, fuel pouch
>650ml ti pot (as bottle too)
>water bladder
>buff
>thin fleece glove liners
>wool socks
>medium thickness merino longsleeve
>battery pack
Things I need to get:
>leather boots + snowseal
I’ve been barefooting for 2 years, I saw the moccasin thread so I’m thinking “Viking” turnshoes with aluminised insoles
>gaiters
>spare socks
I was going to use fleece mittens as sleep socks/day gloves
>light
is my phone enough, if I don’t do much night hiking?
>mesh baselayers
apparently these are very very effective in winter especially for warmth and comfort, reducing sweat buildup
>maps
should I just buy them when I arrive? My phone should suffice til I get there. Or do I print them out to save some weight and money?
Most importantly
>synthetic quilt
to absorb the body vapours and condensation inside the bivy, to be wrung out and dried in the morning. Any recommendations for a very cheap lightweight synth quilt? As Tucas Sestrals poncho looks good but time+money rules it out
