The wind jacket and rain jacket seem a bit much? Wouldn't the rain jacket cover both? Or is the wind jacket one of those soft shell jackets with wind guard in it? For gloves- I like fingerless wool gloves- can get really cheap through military surplus stores- I also have a fewer "nicer" pairs from various stores. Keep your hands warm even when wet. Leather gloves for around camp, handling hot stoves, fires, plus will keep the bit of the cold off if the temps drop. Can double the fingerless wool over the leather gloves if need be. That is my November grouse hunting set up and it works wonders. Finally- I always throw in a pair of swim shorts. Will you be swimming? Unlikekly- but if you do- you have shorts and swim trunks in one- and doesn't add much bulk. I guess you can always lounge around in your boxers if it gets too warm. We are headed somewhere the following week and was just starting to pack last night. I will be following this thread for any others input |

I have my gear in a couple trash compactor bags, important stuff is double bagged. I figure wet gear I’ll just keep in my pack outside of the trash bag. Have a good trip as well. |

Krole, it looks like you will be a bit warmer but still wet so upgrading the camp footwear and having a back up set of long pants to wear since at least one pair will be wet and more socks as they will get wet, too, are changes I am making. And finally some wet bags to carry wet gear when you are traveling. I am also upgrading my hat to something more durable and likely to shed the rain. And have a great trip. |

minnmike: " With forcasted day time temps mostly in the 70's next week I hope you are bringing some warm weather cloths too. Looks like you will be having some very nice weather. Have a great time!" The long sleeve shirt will likely be Patagonia Capilene Lightweight, probably the lightest long sleeve shirt made. I like wearing long sleeve as I hate bringing sunscreen lotion. The pants also roll up like so it'd be like wearing capris, lol. Debating bringing a short sleeve shirt as well. |
