Blue Line Gear
« on: April 06, 2011, 22:47:03 PM »
What type of gear do you die-hard blue liners use. I am interested in suggestions for sleeping bag, pack, and tent(if you use one) for overnight stays in SNP and GSMNP. My current setup is an old Kelty backpack, Cabelas bag, and a tarp. Would like to up-grade and am interested in expert opinions about overnight gear. Thanks in advance.

Tent - Nemo Losi
Stove - MSR Pocket Rocket and GSI dish set
REI Trekker
Rod - Varies
Reel Orvis BBS II
Hiking shoes - Keen Oregon / Orvis Pack and Travel II Wading Shoe

For trips in the middle of summer:
Nix the sleeping bag in lieu of a pair of pants and a long sleeved shirt or light fleece. 
Use a hammock tent instead of a traditional tent (I have a Hennessy Ultralight A-sym).
I can fit all I need in my Fishpond Wildhorse Techpack without the need for another backpack.

Then I can literally fish while carrying all of my gear and not have to hike to a campsite, drop my stuff, go fish all day, and then hope my stuff is still there when I get back.  I can fish my way in and then stop and set up camp at the end of the day and continue to fish further up the next day or hike back out.

My list ain't too much different than everyone else's.  I use a sleeping bag liner instead of an actual bag.  It weighs just a few ounces and folds up to about the size of a jelly jar.  I also hike in my wading boots and carry a pair of crocs for around camp.

Shit, I hope you don't get a GPS, coz you will eventually find that fucking rug to tie your room together :laugh:
