Lend me your lists! Gear lists that is

[peripatew]

So. I'm almost done with school, 2 weeks! And I'm really wanting to get organized, and I'm going to use the 2-3 weeks I have before I start work to do this, so that it will be easier for us (my wife, three year old son, and me) to get away.

So, I'm looking for some gear lists. Anything that you use to help yourself. I know that it is knowledge and experience that create individualized lists based on where and when we are going. But, I'd like to see what some of you guys are doing.

Maybe a list of gear for all-season camping, canoeing, hiking.

You can be as specific as you like, and you can list gear for any season and any activity. I'm just curious!

Hopefully this is clear, let me know if it is not.

35. (lower middle right) katadyn hiker pro water filter.

When car camping 'stuff' isnt too much of an issue, but when hiking to camp I try and take a minimal amount of items, limiting it to:
cloths for the occasion, remember enough socks
sleeping pad, sleeping bag, tent or bivy
Pot, stove, fire starting supplies
food, knife, SAK
limited survival gear

hope something here was helpful,
-David

Here's a "pre-flight" checklist I've used - it's not exhaustive, doesn't detail clothing, maps, nalgene bottles, extra tarp, etc. and might change depending on the trip. It's just a basic checklist to make sure nothing major was forgotten that might be. I use it primarily because I camp/backpack with my wife and we split the gear between our bags - so it's a way to keep track of who got what packed with them to make sure it all comes along. I print it out in three columns (one column for the list and one for me and one for my wife) and check it off - for example for Hat we'd both have a check in each column whereas only one of use would carry the Footprint. Hope it helps - like I said it's not very specific, just a checklist. Once something goes into a backpack you've got to know it's there otherwise you're going to have to unpack to double-check. If you're hassled for time and end up packing for a trip over a couple of nights it can be easy to miss something. Get out in the field and realize you didn't pack one of the items and it might be a real bummer.

Sleeping Bag
Tent/Pole/Stake
Footprint
Sleeping Pad
Meals
Hatchet
Gore-tex pants
Medical Kit
Bowl/Utensils/Cup
Hat
Bandana
Compass
Water Filter
Backup purification
Tinder
Trowel
Flashlight
Trash Bags
Coffee/Tea
Mosquito net
Insect Repellant
Sunscreen
Toilet Paper/Baby Wipes
Backup Fire
Hanging Food Bag
Candle
Gaiters
Cooking pots
Fuel
Stove
Knife
Cordage
PSK

Here is Nessmuk's Camp Kit/List I offen use it for a reference when I put together my gear.

Clothing
Soft thick woolen shirt
Pair of fine, but substantial, woolen drawer
Pair woolen socks
Fine woolen cassimere medium thickness coat

Blanket Bag
Soft, warm, open at the ends, just long enough to cover the sleeper.

Shelter Cloth
Simple lean-to. Sheet of strong cotton cloth 6x8 feet, soaked in lime and alum-water.

Knapsack (oil-cloth)

Rod with reel, lines, flies, hooks, and fishing gear

Pocket-axe "double-barreled"

Strong double-bladed pocket knife

Sheath KnifeThin blade, handy for skinning, cutting meat, and eating with.

Tin ware
One dish six inches on bottom, 6 3/4" on top, side 2" high. The 2nd dish to be made the same, but small enough to nest in the first, also to fit into it when inverted as a cover

Buckskin bullet pouch with sheath sewed on the backside of it.
2 oz vial of fly medicine, vial of "pain killers", 2or 3 gangs of hooks on brass wire snells, water-proof match safe, strings, compass, bits of linen and scarlet flannel (for frogging), copper tacks.

"Ditty-bag" sack of chamois leather about 4" wide by 6" in length.
A dozen hooks, 4 lines of 6 yards (up to 10 lbs. Fish), sinkers, very fine file for sharpening hooks, 3 darning needles & common sewing needles, dozen buttons, sewing silk, thread, small ball of strong yarn, sticking salve, bit of shoemaker's wax, beeswax.

Two days of rations

*Infallible “Fly Medicine” recipe published in Forest and Stream in the summer of 1880 and again in ’83. Three ounces pine tar, two ounces castor oil, one-ounce pennyroyal oil. Simmer all together over a slow fire, and bottle for use. You will hardly need more than two-ounce vial full in a season. Rub it in thoroughly and liberally at first, and after you have established a good glaze, a little replenishing from day to day will be sufficient.
