In this section of the website, I breakdown my gear per recent trip or season. As we know, different gear is taken depending on season, location, anticipated weather, purpose of the trip, group size, length of the trip, etc. By breaking this out in such a way, I can explain the situation in further detail for each list, hoping this may help you decide what you should bring in similar situations. Click on each below to see what I have taken on each trip, and maybe more importantly, why.
