I don't know what most of you keep in your houses/attics but when I decided to go backpacking for this long distance journey I realized I was grossly unprepared for four and five night back country camping in WY and CO. In Kentucky I would be fine with the glow and the dark American Girl sleeping bag or the tin clunky mess kit that I have had since I was in the Girls Scouts. With temperatures averaging low 30's at night in Wyoming in September I felt it was in my best interest buy by new equipment. The only item that isn't new would be my backpack that I bought for my backpacking trip to Europe a few years ago.
So below is a list of my new products:
Kelty - Cosmic 20 degree down women's sleeping bag - 21oz
Sierra Designs - Light Year 1 person tent - 2lbs 11oz
MSR Pocket Rocket - 3oz
8oz fuel can that is suppose to last me 60 minutes
Bear Vault 450 - Capacity 7.2 Liters - 2lbs 1oz
The only reason for the Bear Vault is because I am going to the Grand Tetons (they require it) and apparently the bears there are smarter than your average bear.
