It has been a few years since I've posted a gearlist on my channel. So this is an updated gearlist of what I'll be carrying for late winter/spring of 2023. This list comes in right at 10 lbs and should work in most cases down into the upper 30's at night.
Keep in mind that I live in Texas and this list reflects that (as far as conditions I will face). This list is definitely setup for what I like. I am not using trekking poles or a trekking pole shelter for now. I have one, but really enjoy my freestanding tent. Also, this is not the EXACT kit I'll carry on every single trip. But is a base guide to what I'll be carrying most of the time. As the temperatures rise, my pack will lighten. And as circumstances change, I may add a few ounces.
Admittedly, my clothing system is not great for spending long periods of time lounging around camp in the cold without a fire. But I have used this system a couple times now and it has worked well to keep me warm while hiking and around camp to cook and do chores before getting under my quilt. The only problem I've had with colder temperatures and my clothing setup has been winds of 20 - 30 mph in combination with temperatures in the 30's. In that instance, I was wishing I had traded my thermal shirt for a lightweight down jacket. Other than that, I'm really happy with this system.
This is the link to my LighterPack so that you can visually see how the gear and weights break down based on category. There are still a few items I'd love to upgrade and hopefully can have that done in the coming months.
