Packing list as requested:
GEAR:
backpack (I will have some if you need)
sleeping bag
2 water bottles (at least 32 oz. each)
hiking boots or trail shoes
thick socks (moisture wicking)
1 large trash bag (to cover your pack if it rains)
1 plastic spoon or fork (or even a spork)
CLOTHES:
2-3 pairs of undies (if you can avoid cotton that is best)
1 light pair of pants
1 pair of shorts
2 pairs of socks
1 short sleeve shirt
1 long sleeve shirt
1 lightweight fleece
1 rain jacket or poncho
*limit the amount of cotton clothing you bring (try for stuff like under-armor or other technical fabrics- fleece, polypropaline, dri-fit, tec-polyester…)
HYGIENE:
tooth brush
tooth past
deodorant (preferably not anti-perspirant, your body needs to sweat to cool itself)
contacts if needed
inhaler if needed (any other meds you will need during the trip must be given to me for safe-keeping)
OPTIONAL:
sleeping mat
trecking poles
snacks (lightweight stuff that is packable- don’t over do this as it is extra weight)
