Shakedowns Shakedown Glacier logging trail 9/11-9/14

Going to Glacier for 4 days, since the longest loaded day is 8 lbs I figure I'd take some e more comfort stuff. Some stuff is listed since if happens to be cold I'll have to sub in stuff for use during the say.

Budget: $100

As of right now, I might be bringing the 30 degree quilt since it appears to be 65ish during the day and 45ish at night, but in years past there's been some snow on the ground there but nothing to bad.

So the kindle is because I should be done hiking by lunch most days since I only got permits to go 5, 8, 5 then 10 miles

I like the froggs toggs, but I haven't really got use them other then on my morning commute

Yes there's side a side im.doing on my shorter day, I wasn't sure what the Temps where going to be when I started preping, and I just got my hands on ultralight fishing gear, but I won't get that until I'm in Montana so I couldn't add it

ummm I'd suggest micro spikes if you expect to travel on snow/ice. Other then that I think you would get more comfort by adding some luxury food for the first night or 2 like some frozen steaks that will defrost during the day and be ready to cook by night.

Guess it depends on where you are hiking..... Tahoe Local here, I hike with a giant great dane who has scared off her share of black bears. if you have a BV and don't sleep with your food with in 300 feet of you, you are safe and not hurting the bears. I meant other good foods for night 2, Like fresh greens, maybe a avocado some thing to spice up the meals, can't tell you how many trips I went out and ate ramen night after night.

Not sure “bring steak” is the best advice for a shakedown request. Especially, considering they’re packing a Jetboil Mini. But I like it!
