What worked:
- Food was perfect, ended the hike with zero extra food
- Dried mushrooms were excellent
- Couscous was delicious
- Morning shake was fully dissolved
- Three water bottles worked well
- Sleeping clothes were perfect
- Patagonia insulated canister was perfect for cooking dinner/oatmeal
- Hiking base layer and sun shirt was comfortable and no sunburn
- Clear bag for general small items (vs. mesh bag) worked well
- Rain jacket/puffy combo worked well
- Pack with food/water weighed 42.2 pounds at the start
- Jim's pack weighed 50.2
What can be improved:
- Ran out of fuel, the small canister did not last
- next time bring large canister as backup
- Hotspots on both feet
- Winter boots are to big, used two socks for better fit
- Moleskin kept blisters from getting worse
- Next time consider normal hiking shoes since very little time was spent in snowshoes
- Two pair of gloves was redundant
- Next time bring one pair of mid-weight gloves
- Beanie was not as warm and didn't cover ears with sunglasses on
- Next time bring hat that covers ears with sunglasses
- Compass had an air bubble in it and didn't get accurate reading
