Chicago Basin Gear List

I'm really not happy with this list.  I carried too much insulation.  Too many snacks.  I shouldn't have bothered with the day pack.  The fishing gear turned out to be useless.  I had more battery power than I needed (though I don't regret that) as I was testing out my new watch app.

Anyway, here's the list:

Chicago Basin, 4-8 September 2017


Special Considerations: Afternoon + 3 Full + Morning = 4 days of food.  Camp: 64 to 34 deg, Peaks: 54 to 24 deg.  Tent will be left up, food hung during day or carried?
