AZT Gear List

The gear list for the AZT hike is very similar to our AT gear list:

Shelter: NEMO Dagger 2 with Footprint– we don’t own a one-person tent so better stick with what I know.

Backpack: Osprey Ariel 65, will also bring pack cover just in case.

Sleeping pad: Therm-a-rest Z Lite (Zpad) only because weight was needed to be cut and I was concerned about rocks potentially popping an airpad. She was very sad to see her Big Agnes go.

Sleeping bags and liners: Nemo 15 degree bag with liner for the cold nights at elevation.

Clothing: 2 sets hiking clothes/socks, sleeping clothes/socks, sun sleeves, sun hat, EMS 600 fill down jacket, OR down hat and gloves, rain coat (more to use as a layer).

Trowel

Make shift first aid kit, somethings include: Ibuprofen, Neosporin, band aids, bleed stop, vitamins, sunscreen, Babywipes
