Would like to hear what you guys think of my clothes for my first trip to Alaska.
It's a 10 day fly in during the end of August along the North Slope.

2x Merino Undies and 4x Darn Tough socks
Kuiu zip off merino bottoms and Sitka Ascent Pants
145 merino top, 210 merino top and Sitka Traverse zip hoody.
Sitka dewpoint rain set
First Lite Uncompadre puffy
Liner gloves and Kuiu yukon gloves
Lightweight merino beanie and heavyweight windshear beanie.
OR research gaiters and Lowa leather boots.

Is there anything I am forgetting?

Thanks for your thoughts
 
Just my take, and I'm sitting in Deadhorse right now, we all pack differently, but for me 4x socks is more than I need. I normally rock two, maybe three pair on a long hunt. There's a lot to be said for just hanging socks over a tent pole and airing things out. But socks are light and don't take up much space, so if you want 4x, go for it.

I'd skip the 210 merino. The Traverse for me is pretty toasty, so that, with the light merino would be enough.

But that's just me, and I do pack differently than many others, so take that FWIW.
 
I think you should be well outfitted with that set-up for a 10 day hunt. Keep in mind that it's now snowing in BR and I can see fresh snow on DCUA peaks this morning.
 
Thanks guys.
If weight becomes an issue a pair or two of socks will be one of the first things to get tossed.
 
Looks good to me fresh undies and socks is a great feeling after many days afield. I'll be up there in a couple weeks too and my list is very similar. Good luck!
