Annapurna Pack List: The First Pass
Submitted: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 | Views: 31 | 0 comments
All this walking around (training) has got me thinking: "what do I need to bring with me on this trek?" After doing alot of searching online, I have come up with this rough draft list...I'm sure I'm forgetting things or need to rethink some others, but I have a few months yet to refine the pack list.
My pack right now is an Outbound 60L Nootka, but I may change it to a slightly smaller one..."lighter is always better" is the motto I will live by to get the weight down...I read someones blog that they got the weight down to 22lbs!? I think they must have multi purposed a lot of their gear.
