- 3 cotton tshirts - 1 cotton long sleeve t - rain gear - long underwear (whatever underarmour is made of) - 3 cotton socks and 1 wool - 1 pair of quick drying pants.. well they were 8 years ago. - 1 fleece - 1 pair keen boots - 1 pair keen sandals - 1 hat (baseball or winter pending season) I don't see the point in not wearing cotton. I don't really ever get cold and it just feels better to wear. |

we bring minimal clothes on a 10-11 day trip. We do wash them in our hobo machine (black contractor bag with a little dish soap, put in a little water and let the sun heat it up). wool t-shirts will go for 5-6 days easily without getting funky ex-officio boxer briefs will also go several days funk-free a pair of crocs. They are a great camp shoe, and also great to wear when bathing. good leather gloves for wood gathering/processing/burning. A dedicated rain hat....I overheat when paddling with my rain jacket hood on, the wife does fine either way. one midweight fleece jacket dedicated sleeping clothes (with head cover) - does wonders to keep the bag clean and fresh. the nicest waterproof/breathable rain gear you can afford. EDIT: Bug suit! |

I would add: lightweight, long-sleeved, UV blocking shirt. Tip: Duluth Trading Company's Buck Naked Boxers and Buck Naked Boxer Briefs offer everything you'll find in the Ex Officio brand with a little more generous cut. They are frequently on sale for as little as $14.95. Good Luck |

Back then we would pack in with cotton tshirts on our back and a pair of Jean's with just a change of clothes, maybe two. Loaded into an old town canoe that weighed a ton. Now days it's a full outfit from William's & Hall. I find myself buying more and more gear and feel like I've forgotten how to just pack what need and enjoy the trip for what it is. Muck boots. Closed toed hiking sandals and old sneakers Two pair of Jean's and nylon zip off pants 3 or 4 weatherproof flannels 5 moisture management tees Rain jacket and pants A load of wool socks of different thicknesses And assorted gear galore. It's to much I know. But hard for me to narrow down. What's in your pack? |

Ex Officio underwear are pricey but so worth it for the comfort and quick dry capability. I have really grown to like my Tilley hat. Keeps the sun off my neck and ears. Rocky S2V boots when traveling and some Merrill Moab's in camp. Rain gear of course. |

In my pack I have a full change of clothes with synthetic pants and t-shirt, a cotton long sleeve shirt that is warm and comfortable, could be a in bed shirt too, then synthetic long underwear and a cotton undershirt for PJ's. I bring 2 pairs of spare wool socks with zero cotton content. I only bring cotton for underwear, sleepwear, and that one shirt you toss on because it is warm and comfortable. I'm sure as time goes on and I continue to upgrade all my gear, more of the cotton will be swapped out in favor of synthetics. |

Since I am going earlier this year, I am also bringing a couple pairs of under armour long johns. I'll have one pair just for sleeping in, since I'm bringing my lighter bag, and the other to wear during the day |

Next, instead of 4 flannel (shirts?), think of variety and layering. For May I'd typically bring a synthetic and a wool base layer, light long sleeve shirt, wool shirt, and fleece and/or puffy jacket. This allows me to layer up and flex with the weather. Aside from what I'm wearing, I typically bring 2 extra shirts (some synthetic some cotton), 2 extra underwear, and 2-3 pair wool socks. A fleece cap and some warm gloves go a long way to add warmth. |

I've been so much more comfortable since going long sleeve on arms and legs. No bugs, no sun. Buffs are MONEY. |
