Dreamer here-
Check out the latest video of the clothing I will be
carrying on the trail at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lheoS8OZHWE&list=UL
This is a list of the clothing I will be carrying in my
pack. Most of this I would refer to as
my safe clothing. In other words,
clothing I will only wear at night so that I can rest assured that I can be
warm and dry when my hiking day is complete.
If you looked at my clothing list that I will actually be
wearing, (Earlier post from: 11/26/12) and compare it to the list below, there
is only one thing I will be carrying two of: socks to hike in. Obviously, because I am only carrying one of
everything, I will have to try to wash my clothes as often as I am able, either
near a water source or during visits to towns, hostels, motels, etc.
