Gear for My Hike on the Colorado Trail

Shelter- fly of my Big Agnes Fly Creek 2 set up with trekking poles and stakes. A plastic bag as a ground sheet

Sleep System- Jacks R Better quilt 25 deg with a silk bag liner, neo air 3/4 length and a 1/8 in foam full length pad that will go under it all and also double as a sit pad on cold or wet ground. Fleece leggings, wool hoodie and thick wool socks are all for sleeping and to be kept dry- not worn while hiking.

Cook System- alcohol stove made from a fancy feast cat food can, aluminum foil wind screen, aluminum foil lid, titanium cup/pot, pot grip, lighter, spoon, and small piece of bandana to wipe the pot out. I will be boiling water and making drinks in the pot so no cooking in it.
