Since you carry everything with you on these weeklong camping trips, I need lightweight, minimal equipment. They say we even wear the same pair of underwear all week and change into our extra pair the day we come home...that way we're fresh and clean for our families. We carry in all our food, our tent, and sleeping bag. We also carry out all our trash in order to comply with the "Leave No Trace" Boy Scout philosophy.
Here's a list of the clothing I'll take...
2-4 pairs of lightweight hiking socks
2 pairs of underwear
2 quick dry shirts
2 pairs of zip off pants
1 pair of shorts
Rain gear
Hat
Waterproof hiking boots
Extra tennis shoes for in camp
Today is the first day of the REI Anniversary Sale. http://www.rei.com/ We found some great zip off pants...the REI Sahara Convertible pants. The pants are made with quick-drying UPF 30 material. We also bought the legendary spork and a couple of quick-dry towels. The leaders also recommended the Sham-Wow or a swimmer's towel.
