Gear List
So I am going to be doing a lot of hiking this year. I want to build up to 10-12 mile hikes in 1 day by the end of they year. I also want to do a few overnight hikes where I hike in, camp, then hike out the next day. In order to do that I have a few things I need.
Tent: A 1-2 person light tent, something I can pitch with my trekking poles would be cool. I am carrying 340 pounds already, no need to add too much to that.
Sleeping pad – My daughter has a way cool air-bubble one. I am fat – I really need a good cushion against the ground.
Travel pillow- Ok – so I am spoiled 
Sleeping bag – I guess a 30-40 degree would be warm enough for me since I am always really hot and we will not be camping out any earlier than April or later than October.
Cookset – a small lightweight stove and eating tools.
Water purification set. Mini first aid pack.
Backpack – Gotta have something to put all this stuff in. My back is 21 inches and I am looking for something around 3000 cubic inches.
Personal Hygiene pack – um, I may miss a shower but that is about all the dirty I can handle
Desireables: These are things I could most likely live without, but would like to have.
headlamp, stuffsacks, booklamp (cause I can not be away from a book for more than 16 hours), knife.
