GEAR LIST

MY GEAR LIST
***Final Update before I leave*** any changes after this will be highlighted

Buying my gear has been such a journey! I am trying to be as light as possible, but on a budget.  The lighter the gear, the more expensive it is, so I'm always juggling price vs. weight for everything I buy.  Some Items I will pay for the lightest possible (my sleeping bag), other items I will get a slightly heavier option because I got a great deal, or the ounces are so small it really isn't as important (my stove, some clothes ect) I have check marked every item I have, attached a link to the item, shown the weight, the price and where I got it, plus discount info. Goal weight = less than 15 lbs (minus food, water, fuel and items worn) *will also post "other" costs at the bottom of this post.

I would also like to say a big huge Thank You to those that have donated $ to help me out!! I am so blessed with amazing family and friends!
