Packing list for OLT
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
Hi all
I'm booked in for OLD in December with a friend, some things will be shared between packs (such as the tent). Given the uncertainty, I'm thinking best to assume we won't be able to use huts (bonus if we can).
See my packing list here - https://lighterpack.com/r/c91t8o
I'm keen to hear where I could reasonably lose some weight. A few things to note:
-This is my first OLT & one of only a few multi-day hikes (previous max is 2 nights).
-Things I haven't purchased yet are marked with "NYP" and there are some optional extras that I'm already considering not taking.
-My friend will have a JetBoil & as it gets closer to the trip I'll decide if I need to replace my MSR with one. I figured if we're in the huts, the MSR should be fine as a backup, but potentially not if no huts.
-Am I missing anything important?
-Particular things I'd like some input on are:
*Camp clothes - Do I need something warmer up top? I'm currently just planning on a light jumper & my fleece if I need it (and it isn't wet)
*Is the tent going to be sufficient in Summer? We're borrowing it from a friend, it's reasonably cheap, has decent reviews, but is only a 3 season. If necessary, we can purchase a tent (and in that case, any recommendations for an
alternative?)
*Do I have anything that's overkill?
*Do I want the camp chair? I own this already, so I don't want to buy a different one, but it is heavy. If the hurts aren't open, how useful would it be?
*Is it worth taking the thermos? I was planning on using it as a backup in case of cold weather (in sleeping bag overnight), and also to have hot drinks on the trail.
Thanks in advance!
