Thread: Gear List

My gear is similar to what's been posted, clothes taken just vary between seasons.

I think it's important to actually have your gear list written down so you don't forget anything. I have one for walking around with a pack on & a slightly more expansive one for a fly/drive/boat trip to a base camp.

For say a Haast block trip, we take a couple of large fly's/covers to set up a dry area, fold out camp chair, chilly bin, axe, & better cooking gear (Coleman cooker with 4kg gas bottle, frypan, large Billy's, etc) & gumboots for around camp.

My lists are on excel, you can then save for specific trips, ie walk in trip and fly in trip, summer overnighter etc

I use the highlight function to show what's been packed

Could even list the weights ( on my to do list) of each item for pack weights

I do the same. Usually anyway. Got all confident I knew what I needed to take last so didn't use the list. Left bloody tent pegs at home. Annoying
