Gear felt pretty dialed:
-using the nixwax rewaterproof wash on the Arcteryx jacket was a big plus
-I used drops but would bring a sawyer mini as well next year to instantly drink when we hit water. I’m kinda a water hog.
-I didn’t bring baskets for my trecking poles, I won’t make that mistake again in tundra.
-I brought 3k food per day and for me that’s too much. 2-2200 was plenty but I would add bone broth.
We did a 3k up and 3k down in a 20 hour period that included a bivy in a creek bed. I’ve never been more tired in my life. From now on my stove and some calories will be coming out for glassing sessions. I picked up the Mont Bell Bivy bag before and paired with my MH puffy pants it made for a decent night of sleep out. I also used my Kifaru Sheep tarp several days and have sense added 4 stakes and 2 extra guy outs.
