Packing List

In different conditions and areas I make a few small changes to the gear I take for example sometime I tarp camp, in other areas I use a tent, or sometimes I just camp in caves. I take about the same amount of gear on a 2 day hike as a 3 week hike, with the exception of food and consumables like gas and toothpaste. The gear I take hiking is always evolving and changing.
