Gear

	This is the North Face  brand " Cat's Meow" It's a 15 degree  F. rated ( this means it will be comfortable to sleep in until the temperature drops below 15 degrees) synthetic fill bag that  I like . I have one and I've slept in weather colder than 15 deg. in. It has a mummy shape that serves many purposes . One reason is to save space when it is packed up and another is that this shape keeps the heat close to your body. It has a hood and a small pocket near your head for a watch  or small alarm clock.
	This is The North Face brand " Diligence"  All the features you would look for in a multi-day  pack . The big black part on the back detatches and can be used as a small daypack . it is top loading , has 2 side pockets ,has a pocket in the lid and a sleeping bag compartment . you can also axcess the main compartment via a zipper , without having to open the top lid. It also has a hydration system sleeve inside.
	This Headlamp made by Petzl runs off of 3 AA batteries i believe  or a rechargable battery pack. It light can be focused into a tight beam or a flood position.
	This is a great stove made by Mountain Safety Research (MSR). It is the " Whisper Light International" and runs on just about anything . You can even run this thing on car gasoline . I prefer to use white gas, which is a super burning liquid gas that is available all over and even in other countries. It also has a self cleaning mechanism in it . it folds up too!
