    Feedback on Final Clothing List

    Well, looks pretty good to me.I found I can get away with only two pairs of undies and socks and I'd leave behind either the sundress or shorts. I don't bother with extra shoes either as trail runners are ok for the evening. If they fit they fit. I pack a poncho instead of rain pants and jacket...

    Backpack Pick

    I find 36lt is plenty. I use an unstructured Gossamer Gear pack with a sit mat in the back. If you take more than 8 to 10 kg you've got too much stuff.
