The goal is to have the most fun, not the lowest base weight :)
List attempts to include only items I own and have some experience with.
I live in the North East and this list is for when the monthly average low is more than 0ºF / -18ºC - adjusting down 5ºF per 1000' elevation gain - Generally November - March - I use usclimatedata.com
Other Lists
