Final Packing List

Departure is near and I have come close to finalizing  gear selections.  Here is what I am planning on living with for a week in the desert!  I will also have some additional/spare equipment with me to augment at the start of self sufficiency or to change out on a whim (well, a calculated whim).  Total kit weight without water and estimated race provided equipment (flare, etc.) is approximately 18.7 lbs which is unfortunately heavier than I had hoped.  Some luxuries may be discarded at the start or along the way depending on the situation.
