A newer packing list

One of the issues that has plagued me all over my hikes is the fact I feel I carry too much. I have tried many things but I am just not able to cut the weight.

This has led to a completely new approach towards gear selection and packing. I want to be in a place where I will be able to pack everything in a 20 L pack or so and I will stop carrying my own sleeping bag, I will however carry my own mat to compensate.

I will also reduce weight by removing items like hydration bladder, rain pants / jacket and tried replace them with lighter options like water bottles and poncho.

So this is a complete list of what I would want to take on a winter trek, I think I am sacrificing sitting comfort for moving around.

So here goes nothing!

Pack	Day Pack	Waste pack	Crampons
Poncho	Gaiters	Tees (2)	Pants (2)
Mittens / Gloves	Down Jacket	Fleece???	Inners
Underpants (3)	Socks	Balaclava	Two Mugs + Spoon
Glasses	Mat???	Sleeping Bag???	Water Bottle
Cell Phone	Tooth Brush	Tooth Paste	Wet Wipes
Toilet paper	Head lamp	Camera	Knee caps
Boots	Ear plugs	Paper Soap	Sun Block
Hand Sanitizer	Poles

This list includes what I will wear and carry.

For first aid I plan to carry the following in small

Brufen	Aspirin	Paracetamol	Bandages
Diamox	Imodium	Norflox 400	O2

So this is what it all looks like together
