I am trying to make some harsh choices between gear that I think I'll need and what I actually will. It's amazing how much everything adds up and while I am not going to be out in the middle of nowhere too often (there is usually a place to do laundry, for example), I'd rather not be wearing the same shirt every day.
Right now, this is the first pack and I am trying to see where I can lighten my gear, realizing that I am probably going to go more than a week without access to laundry while I am in the forest.
Large backpack - Crestrail 70L (70 liter volume)
smaller pack for traveling around - I am borrowing this from a friend.
