So Far I have used existing gear, replaced some older gear an modified, and made some.

I'm continuing to tweak the gear list, trying to find where or if I can lower the weight even more. Yes I know I could make some reductions in my shelter. This would come at great expense, I also have some requirements like no creepy crawlers, so I need A tent. No treking poles I like a walking stick or Bo Staff, which will double for 1 of my flutes that I plan to carry.

I have replaced my 15 year ole Coleman Peak 1 weight 4 lbs with Winterial Bivy very close in design to the Peak 1 but a 1 person version, 1360 Grams.

Continuing to use my 12 year old well used Slumber-jack Super Guide 30F It's still very serviceable and remains warm when wet, My Kayaking Bag! I did replace my mummy bag liner.

This will be on going process.
