TGOC 2020 Gear List

Gear lists are personal - although I know a lot of people who like to see what others are taking when they go backpacking.

This is my gear list for TGOC 2020.

The weather for the TGOC can vary: ( forget the nice, sunny, dry, crossings which can give a sense of false security)

- potentially: lots of rain, hail, sleet, snow; mixed with ferocious winds, cold, freezing, baltic, pleasant, warm, boiling etc., ............. and that can just be the first day!

To ensure comfort and safety I carry more than absolutely necessary: if I knew there was going to be a warm,dry, sunny two weeks, I'd carry less.
