Trial packing of all essentials is a good way to get down to the bare essentials. I've kept gear lists from past trips, and use those but every trip is different. Crossing northern Washington state in summer is going to be both warm and alternately cold at night, so I'll include the down jacket (small warm and weighs less than a pound). We will be following a highway so I assume we can find water that is drinkable and so I'll leave the water filter behind. Will use that on the Continental Divide trip later in the summer. Anyway, there is always the trip to the post office on day 3 when you figure out how silly it was to bring X item and are more than willing to ship it back. Love those flat rate boxes!
Less than two weeks to launch now!
