Damn you pack a LOT. How long were you planning to stay up there when you packed? I guess Im just a minimalist but that strikes me as serious overkill.
Ah yes, a minimalist.
Use to be one, I was a hardcore backpacker who spent days in my youth backing around the perimeter of Mt. Rainier.
After you have kids and a wife who liked some creature comforts along with camping, you tend to bring more.
Now that my kids are grown and I am nearing retirement age, I like some extra stuff too.
Not overkill for me at all.
To each their own ya know?
Where is the overkill?
Bringing a shower/crapper tent so others do not see you defecating or showering?
Comfortable chairs to keep a back that has seen lots of abuse over the years comfortable?
A comfortable shelter to stay warm in and wake up with a happy back?
Seriously, what is the overkill?
Some people need more than others.
I had fully planned on staying up there for a week or as long as ten days.
Got a late start at home due to some issues, then as mentioned, I forgot some crucial stuff at home.
