This list is for the yearly trip I take with my mom. We generally hike in the Pacific Northwest. All of my own gear is listed here, along with all shared gear, including shared gear that I don't carry. She carries the kitchen stuff, I carry the tent.
Red stars are things I might rethink to save weight. If I can get the starting weight of my pack nicely under 40lbs not including the clothes I'm wearing, I will be happy! (It started out as 45lbs, I've reduced it.)
Clothing is organized head to toe, and food is organize morning to evening.
