Hey Everyone. I plan on thru-hiking the A.T. next year. I have been doing a lot of research on which gear to purchase. Below is a list I have compiled. Please leave comments and suggestions, for they will be greatly appreciated. I could especially use advice on the footwear, pack, and stove. Keep in mind that I would like to go as light as possible, but can carry a little weight as I'm fairly rugged (6'3", 180lbs). Thanks a lot.

- Pack: Osprey Aether 70
- Boots: L.L. Bean Cresta
- Stove: MSR PocketRocket
- Rain Jacket: L.L. Storm Chaser
- Filter: Katadyn Hiker Pro Microfilter
- Sleeping Pad: Therm-A-Rest RidgeRest or Z-Lite
- Sleeping Bag: Katadyn Climashield 20*
- Shorts: Patagonia Men's Baggies
- Pants: EMS Scout Pants
- Tent: MSR Hubba
- Fleece: Patagonia R2
- T-Shirts: L.L. Bean CoolMax
- Poles: Pacerpole or Leki Super Makalu
