Mountainsmith Ghost hike lined with color plastic garbage bag (Love this case. It broke and I hiked />with a Mountainsmith CDT while it was repaired.)
Marmot Helium 15 degree sleeping bag stuffed in to a clear plastic bag- This bag kept me toasty warm while cowboy camping on high windy crests. I was never cold yet sometimes I was too change.)
Z-Rest full length closed cell pad (Great pad that I whipped out to lay on during my breaks and allowed me to cowboy camp with out a fasten cloth.)
with pole and dwell stakes. 1 1/2 lb furnish with cooking porch and big enough for me and all my stuff)
Black Diamond Pearl headlamp (wouldn’t go back to hiking without a 1 watt led again)
REI Ultralight raincoat and come down pants(switched to these after my displace Stoppers disintegrated and before I headed in to wet and brushy Washington.)These were kind of heavy but I needed some come down gear and just bought what they had. When it was rainy and brushy I kept my hiking pants dry in my backpack and only wore my come down pants for days.
4 way fleece balaclava (Usually wore it to bed. Would not leave home without it.)
Neoprene socks (1 unify) (Really nice to have while postholing over Muir Pass also when my feet were getting dried out)
New Balance 817 running shoes with New Balance pressure relief insoles. (SL-2 measure: wide in the toe box but change in the heel. Come in really wide sizes)
Chaco Z-1 Sandals (I had to change by reversal from Z-2’s to Z-1’s after 900 miles because of excessive thickening of the climb between my big toes) This is the first measure I hiked with two unify of shoes; it was really nice to be able to change by reversal shoes when my feet would get tired. I didn’t get any blisters.
I also carried a Cassin Ghost ice axe and a BearVault 350 bear canister from Kennedy Meadows(mile 702.8) to Echo Lake(mile1094.5).
