Gear List

By Hedgehog
I imagine that some of our readers are wondering what we carry on our thru hike. So I made a list of everything as I got it together Saturday and Sunday. The list only includes gear I'm starting with, it doesn't include specialty items that will be needed later on the trail such as my CampUSA Corsica ice axe or my BearVault bear canister. Booboo's gear is pretty similar to mine. It might be a different manufacturer, but provides the same function. Her luxury items are different from mine as well.
A couple general points: we carry roughly 40 lbs with 5 days food and 5 Liters of water, we share a tent and a stove to reduce weight, we'll also share my water filter while Booboo carries a chemical treatment as backup.
Booboo will carry some of my gear, to even out the weight, since I'm carrying the tent.
All right here's the list:
1. Backpack - ULA Catalyst

Sorry for the delsy in posting it as bren a couple of hectic days getting ready for our start today (April 17). 
A picture of the Olympic Mountains yesterday on our way to the airport in Seattle.
We were hosted by "Pinhead" and Barbara in SoCal last night. Their hospitality and generosity were excellent and very much appreciated.  Thank You!
A quick Starbucks stop this morning before our hour drive to the Southern Terminus and our start.
We're super excited. We'll be in touch soon.
