Hey Tom, you are definitely in the ballpark and can hone from there. I don't carry a sleeping bag liner or tent footprint and depending on the S24O don't bring a stove or food, but otherwise my list looks similar to yours. One of the beauties of an S24O is you really can't go wrong by bringing too little or too much. It's not like you have a week or even a few nights to live with any mistakes, so it is very conducive to experimenting. So much depends on where you are camping. I no doubt bring more clothes for the Colorado Rockies at the height of Summer than many in CA for Spring or Fall. Why? Because snow is always possible, rain/hail likely and temps will range from highs in the 80's to lows in the 30's in July/August. Plus the weather folk have no idea what it's going to do, so best to be prepared for whatever. FOr Spring and Fall, I add my Filson's wool Mackinaw and/or a heavy down vest. Sure, there are trips I don't wear everything, but why take the risk?
