My thoughts:

  • The leather-palmed gloves are an odd choice. Something like these or these would probably provide more warmth.
  • I know some people really love the firesteels, but for a canister stove like you've got on your list a regular Bic lighter is a whole lot easier. Carry 2 of the mini's: one in your cooking kit for daily use, and a backup in your first-aid/repair kit.
  • That's almost a pound of water bottles, empty. Instead, carry a 2 liter one of these, for 3.5 ounces of weight, and throw an empty gatorade bottle in your side pack pocket for mixed drinks or drinking out of in camp.
  • I'd skip the emergency blanket. They're really not that useful on a trail like the AT. Doesn't Winton in his book say that those blankets are one of the most sent home items from Neel's Gap?
  • There's some real health concerns with using iodine-based water treatment like the Potable Aqua for as long a time period as a thru hike. (The EPA recommends not using iodine for more than a couple weeks, and iodine as a water treatment is banned in Europe completely due to the health issues). Aqua Mira is probably the most popular water treatment you see on the trail.
  • That knife is overkill. I carried one of the little Swiss Army knives, and even on that the scissors were used more than the blade.
  • That stove is mighty cheap. I would definitely order that early and do some practice cooking on it beforehand. It does seem to have pretty good reviews though.
  • I'd lose at least 1 pair of the shorts. You've already got pants that convert, and having one pair of backup shorts to wear in town while doing laundry is a good idea, 2 is overkill.
  • I'd lose both the fleece and the sweater and replace them with one good down sweater, to be lighter, warmer, and taking up less space in the pack.
  • That thermarest is a monster. Seems kind of odd to pick an ultralight tent but then carry a 3lb sleeping pad. A neoair would be 1/4th the weight, and just as comfortable.
