It's funny how when you read the list it looks a lot, then look at the actual items packed and it looks so little. Excellent list there SH, I like the bag too.

Good list. Outdoorsy choices indeed but that is a matter of personal preference. I just noticed there was no sweater or fleece cardigan on the list. So I suppose this is the summer list or you are wearing that and that's why it's not on the pack list.

So you take only a single pair of shoes? I do like to take two pairs. I know that would be a wonderful way to save some good weight but I like the style change, the added functionality and the fact that my feet like to be in different shoes. Good for the feet and good for the shoes.

Excellent list / job SH - Bravo.

I'm working to a similar standard for my personal travel - only with a
bag at approx. 2000 sq in. (TriStar sized)

Brad intrigued me so much with the 'Red State Aeronaut' that I pulled
the trigger on one. I'll be doing a 'first impressions' similar to the original
MEI EO review I did a couple years back.

I was mildly surprised ...

Stay tuned.

Good travels,
Paul
