Wow!!! Amazing information, everyone! Much thanks.
-So a knife, excellent idea. Are we talking large swiss army, or Crocadile Dundee?
-Socks: 3 pairs per day, mayeb 5-6 pairs total for the day and a half.
-Sun glasses: I have a few pairs, all UV protected, all have excelent coverage, just forgot to mention it.
-Sunscreen: always wear it, no matter what, so it shouldn't be a problem
-Guidebook: brilliant! Amazon.com, here I come
-Map: I'll have a map and a compas, which i learned from hiking around Saratoga
-Pants: well we have a vote for jeans and a vote for not jeans. Now jeans can be an ass on a very hot day, and sometimes they can be a bit inflexable, but they are also extremly durable and are perfect on cold nights. Shakran, what do you mean by 'long pants'? Just curious. This might have to be a judgment call thing.
-shirt: tee + windbreaker should do well
-water: called some friends and they agreed that Camelbak makes a good product. I'll probably go with that. I'd like to have as much water is needed to keep my hydrated, while not adding 50 lbs. to my load.
-boots: any brands that stick out in everyone's mind? Something that a fellow TFPer has tested time and again would be excelent.
-food: One MRE, got it. Tabasco, excellent idea. I was thinking dehydrated meats (of my own making, not jerky), dried fruits, dried veggies, crackers, etc. for the other meals. Maybe 6 small meals, 4 of which during daylight.
-Gandalf staff...check
-thermal blanket...I'll have to go get one of those.
