So I have finally decided to post my list for some advice. I've been picking things up for the last 2.5 years. Planned to go last year, but knee problems kept me sidelined and this year had other obligations. Don't plan to let anything stop me next year.
Many of the things I picked up were based off of suggestions here, followed by a lot of additional research on my own, so anything that looks funny is probably somebody's fault from here! Anything in GREEN has not been bought yet, so feel free to make suggestions. Also feel free to critique the rest too. Goal is to only buy this once and use for quite a while. I plan to either bivy hunt 1-2 miles in or spike out from that same distance.
