    Open to criticism on my pack

    I suggest you take some rain pants. Rain pants serve multiple purposes. In prolonged rain conditions, they will keep you dryer. On cooler mornings, they keep you warmer and in windy weather it protects you from too much heat loss. I walked in September and October, on multiple mornings, it...

    Photography equipment?..

    Professional photo equipment is too heavy. Instead of a tripod, I would use one of your walking poles to steady your camera. A cellphone that has multiple lenses will take professional photos in the hands of someone who is a professional photographer. Take a lesson in how to use it. If you...
