So I just ordered my backpack (Jade 30) and I'm trying to get my gear list in order so I can get it all organized while I'm in the US. Please feel free to rip it apart. Please note this is built with the knowledge that I get *very* hot while walking (except my hands) but am cool when I just wake up and in the evenings. I'll be starting in mid-Sept (likely) and doing the whole route.
Clothes:
2 - Tank tops with built-in bra
1 - long-sleeve lightweight jacket
1 - capri pants
1 - convertible pants (full length)
1 - long-underwear pants to sleep in
2 - underwear
1 - rain jacket/poncho
2 - sets of socks (liner and thicker)
1 - sarong
1 - thin pair gloves
1 - hat
1 - bathing suit
Technology
1 - Smartphone (with charger)
1 - mp3 player (tiny one, uses same charger as phone)
1 - bluetooth keyboard (hopefully)
Bath:
1 - vapur .4l bottle with 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner (I know, weight.... But I also know that if I don't have conditioner I'll be miserable. I'll also use it for body wash and laundry)
1 - vapur .4l bottle of lotion with SPF (again, weight... but I am a FIEND about dry skin. I lotion my hands about every 15 minutes and/or every time I wash them. Plus it'll be my sunscreen)
1 - deodorant
1 - Toothbrush/paste/dental floss
Misc:
1 - crocks sandals (not the fugly clog style )
1 - set of ankle-high gaiters (to protect from rocks, debris, not water)
1 - micro-fiber bag liner
1 - basic first aid kit
1 - knife
1 - bandana (for wiping the sweat off my face while walking)
1 - sunglasses
2 - sets of earplugs
5 - safety pins
1 - clothes line (about 10m of the lightest weight rock climbing cord works well for this and is very light weight and strong. attach with a slip knot at one end and a very small 'biner at the other)
I'm undecided about trekking poles. I've used them before and liked them but I really don't want the expense. I may pick them up in Pamplona if I find I need them.
