Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

Brynn:

One thing I’ve spent a long time thinking about is what I should pack for this trip. I’m only going to be carrying a 32 L backpack (Black Diamond Demon) so already my choices are limited.

Here’s what I’ve narrowed it down to.

Clothes:

• 2 pairs of zip-off pants/shorts. I have MEC’s Prana Tenaya and Mountain Hardwear’s Corsica Convertible Pants
• 1 pair of Adidas capris (Clima 365)
• 2 Nike quick dry tank tops
• 2 Nike quick dry t-shirts
• 1 Nike quick dry long sleeve shirt
• 2 pairs of Underarmor shorts (3 inch length and capri)
• 1 zip up sweater
• 3 sports bras and 1 regular bra
• 6 pairs of MEC travel underwear
• 3 pairs of Nike quick dry socks
• 2 headbands
• bathing suit
• rain jacket (MEC Hydrofoil Lightweight Rain Jacket)
• 1 pair of sneakers (Nike Free)
• 1 pair of birkenstocks
• 1 pair of flip flops

First Aid/Medicine/Stuff to keep us Clean: Since we won’t be staying put for very long, we don’t have the luxury of stocking up on this stuff and leaving it in a home base, unfortunately that means we have to carry most of it with us.
