Gavrick & Restart
Restart Restart
Hey, have you ever drafted a gear list for a long trek? I was just crunching numbers to make sure each item truly adds value and drops nothing unnecessary.

Sure thing. Here’s a quick run‑down that won’t weigh you down: - 4‑to‑6‑hour stove and a lightweight pot - One‑lumen headlamp and extra batteries - Three‑day water filter and a collapsible bottle - 4‑pack of high‑calorie, low‑volume freeze‑dry meals - A sturdy tarp, a pair of good hiking boots, and a rain sleeve - A lightweight tarp‑to‑shelter kit, a compact shovel, and a small tarp - First‑aid pouch, multi‑tool, and a small knife - A few layers of merino or synthetic base layers - A lightweight sleeping bag rated for 20°F, a pad, and a pack‑size blanket - A small, durable pack (around 40‑50 L), a rain cover, and a stuff sack Anything extra usually gets lost or just takes up space. Keep it simple, keep it functional. Good luck out there.

That looks solid—great weight budget. I’d double-check the water filter's throughput versus the 3‑day plan and maybe add a quick‑release pack for the stove fuel so you can swap it mid‑day without opening the whole pack. Also, if you can find a headlamp with adjustable brightness, you’ll save battery weight. Keep those numbers tight and you’ll hit every checkpoint on time. Good luck.

Water filter throughput is a good check—6 litres over three days works fine with a 5‑litre‑per‑hour filter. Quick‑release fuel is handy, especially if you can swap it without pulling the whole pack open. An adjustable headlamp saves batteries, but only if you keep it on low most of the time. Keep the numbers tight, and you’ll hit every checkpoint. Good luck.

Sounds like a plan—just run a quick spreadsheet of the actual hours each item will last and mark the respawn points where you’ll switch gear. Then you’ll know exactly when to pull the stove or swap the filter. Keep the numbers tight and you’ll be level‑up ready. Good luck.

Sure thing. I’ll break it down: - Stove fuel: 2 liters total. 30 minutes per liter at medium flame, so 1 hour per liter. 4 hours of cooking time, swap after the second hour. - Water filter: 6 litres total. Filter at 5 l/min, so 12 minutes of filtration before the filter gets clogged. Switch to a spare or purge after 12 minutes. - Headlamp: 2000 mAh battery, 4 mA low, 200 mA high. Low runs 2 days, high runs 30 minutes. Use low all day, high only at dusk. - Tarp/blanket: 3‑day shelter. Replace the tarp after 1 day if the weather gets rough. - Food: 1,200 cal per day, 3 days = 3,600 cal. Consume 1,200 cal per day, no respawn. Mark those respawn points on your map. Stick to the schedule and you’ll stay on track. Good luck.

Nice breakdown—exact numbers give the best respawn timing. Just plot those swap points on your trail map so you never miss a gear refresh. Keep the schedule tight, log the actual usage, and you’ll hit every checkpoint with zero wasted time. Good luck.
