Island Lake past Ice Lakes

I'd also like to hike Blue Lakes

I feel like I have more "established hiker" gear now.

Should be all set for CO's backpacking arms and Manmping (even if it involves canoes)

All either purchased for 60+%off on Steep&Cheap or were gifts
Obviously you don't need all this stuff but I'm trying to build good stuff up for my ventures.

Northface 75 Backpack
1lb 2oz Softshell
Packable 15oz Rain Jacket
Packable 7oz waterproof pants
3oz lantern
3.1oz stove
3lb 3oz (long version) 35deg sleeping bag
Water purifier
Lightweight pot//utensil
Headlamp 2.8oz (w/ batts)
2 person tent is around 4lb
Camera lens is out for cleaning
Going to need dry bag meals (Cheapest Walmart)
I should probably get a base layer odor prevent shirt since we'll be out for a long time
And I love my Gortex TNF hiking shoes

This stuff can obviously, to some pros, be done lighter, but I went with light+economical
