Snuffy's Trail Calendar

Welcome to Snuffy's Gear Checklist!


Springer in the fog

Here is a gearlist that I choose from for my trips. This is a list of almost all the gear that I could ever need for any kind of trip, backpacking or car camping. I pick and choose from this checklist based on the type of trip that I am taking and the season of the year. Here is a downloadable spreadsheet version of the list....Gearlist

Obviously when I'm backpacking I do my best NOT to carry everything on this list. Sometimes I'm more successful than others.....Here is a list of my backpack's contents on my last Appalachian Trail hike.
