Thank you guys, this is the info I have been looking for. Now I can google choke cherries and oregon grapes, so I can study the pictures and hopefully identify potential hot spots.
I put mine in excel format. I haven't done the comparison yet from old gear to new gear. Some of the gear I'll be adding and some I am exchanging. None the less I'm excited to get all of it here and test it out.

Great job on getting the little guy started. I have an 8 year old son that can and will walk circles around me and 5 year old daughter who is well on her way to becoming a hiking and hunting companion. Keep updating please. I am getting some great ideas here.
I work with a guy that moved here (Colorado) a few months ago from Texas. I tell him this all the time. He likes to do over nights in RMNP with his buddies from back home. No base layers, no shelter, no extra food, no way to sterilize water. Sadly enough, some people need to learn the hard way...
