Gear Junkies

A few folks have expressed some interest in our gear, so here is a list of the major pieces with just a bit of editorial:

• Backpacks: Gregory Baltoro 75 w/ integrated Goal Zero solar panel (Jeff); Gregory Deva 70 (Debra)
• Footwear: Merrell Unifly boots or Solomon Speedcross trail running shoes (Jeff); Altra Lone Peak 3.5 trail shoes (Debra)
• Trekking Poles: REI Flash Carbon (Jeff); Leki Makalu Titanium (Debra)
• Sleeping bags: REI Sub-Kilo (+20 Jeff) (+15 Debra)
• Bedrolls: Nemo Tensor R20 (small, light, and super comfy)
• Tent: MSR Hubba Hubba 2
• Water filter: MSR MiniWorks w/ viral stop drops (heavy, but field cleanable with no failures in 15 years)
• Stove: MSR Pocket Rocket (uses isobutane canisters)
• Pot: GSI Outdoors Halulite Boiler 1.1L
• Headlamps: Black Diamond

Debra uses a titanium spork and for sentimental reasons I carry a pocket knife my grandfather used during WWII that has a fork and spoon built in.

For day hikes and biking we use our adventure race packs: Out There USA MS-1 (Jeff) MS-2 (Debra)
