Basic Gear Packs Stoves Lighting Map, Compass and Whistle

Packs: Types Daypacks External-frame Internal-frame Short trips, minimal waistbelt External-frame Not for winter --- too unwieldy Internal-frame Winter favorite Daypacks, I-frames for rent

Packs: Theory Hipbelt takes most of weight Shoulders mostly stabilize Constantly adjust straps to keep fit as load changes

Packs: Packing Bottom --- light (sleeping bag) High, close to back --- heaviest (water, food, fuel) High, far --- midweight (stove, clothing) Frequently used items in pockets to avoid opening main pack

Stoves: Use Melting snow --- put water in pot to avoid scorching Boiling water Fancier foods

Stoves: Types Butane, Butane/Propane, Isobutane White gas Pressurized gas canisters Very easy to use Poor performance in cold weather White gas Liquid fuel turned to gas just before burner More difficult to use Winter favorite

Lighting: Flashlights C, D-cell flashlights overkill AA flashlights useful, but need a hand free New LED squeezelights useful in camp

Lighting: Headlamps Halogen: bright (2 hours on 2 AA) Xenon: long-lasting (8 hours on 2 AA) LED (new): absurdly long-lasting (100 hours on 2 AA) Separate battery packs can be kept inside clothing

Three Necessities: Map Compass Whistle Each person carries one in a waterproof bag Compass $10 compass is plenty Whistle Plastic (sold during office hours)
