Colorado Trail - Pretrip

Dsc_4498


Finished sorting, packing and organizing all my gear for my 485 mile Colorado Trail trip.  I am going to be doing resupplies in Twin Lakes and Creede (photo below of the two resupply boxes).  Some final decisions of
the trip were whether to go shorts and tshirt with sunscreen or long pants and top without much spf.  I decided with the heat of late June and July to go with shorts (Patagonia Long Haul Runners) and short sleeve top (Smartwool SS zip).  Everything is pictured below except for some stuff sacks, pack liner, montrail hardrock shoes and toothbrush and sunscreen which i still need to pick up.


Dsc_4502Some of my favorite items for this trip are the Platypus Sports bottle with red spout cap for my fuel (denatured alcohol), Patagonia Puffball jacket and Nanatuk Ghost down quilt.   


New items I am trying out are Sportslick (antifungal/antibacterial creme to prevent chaffing) and ULA's Conduit pack.  I have been using ULA's old P-2 pack which is larger with great success during the past year.
