The How (gear)

Here is the gear I used for my June Tune-up trip, while some changes will be made, this is my current gear list.  If there's some interest I will write up a report of winners, losers, and upcoming changes as I continue to tune my kit.

Main list first, followed by the detail list where needed.  This is my personal system, so it may not look familiar, I go by From Skin Out, rather than lying to myself with some fancy dancing regarding my base load.  A five pound base load with ten pounds of clothes and shit stuffed in your pockets is still fifteen pounds!

Ignore the dollar amounts- those aren't up to date.
Green=pounds,
Blue=grams
Yellow=items not typically counted by others and excluded from my base load for comparison
Red=something I need to replace ASAP or left at home.
