lows overnight in the 20s on one trip. usually 40s. so 3 season clothing was vague, but it varies.

when i do the TD, everything will get optimized for fast / light with the exception of a few things that need to be durable.
yes, the stove will stay home. might on the next trip too. but it will be late fall with friends... so cooking will be for comfort / social.

yes, i know the tape trick. good one you mentioned earlier.
i touched everything i carried last trip at least once. save the spare batteries, extra tube, patch kit, water purification drops, bug dope, sunscreen, and built in chain tool on my multi tool.
