I've purchased some new gear, hopefully I'll have a field test done soon. I picked up a Kelty Tioga 5000 external frame pack and a North Face Crestone 75 internal frame. The NF pack is incredibly comfortable. I've never worn anything like it. The Kelty is a real work horse pack; I've got this one for myself to carry. It will allow me to pack a little more gear to compensate for another hiker who is not as adept at packing yet.
I have a couple of Black Diamond Trekking Poles and a new North Face Goliath 0 degree sleeping bag as well. Couple all this with my existing kit and I can now outfit two to three more hikers. The gear is usually what deters people from enjoying the hobby so I decided to just start building additional kits. I'm hoping to have a fully outfitted kit for three additional people by next Spring. Basically all you need to bring on my trips now is a solid pair of boots and a few clothes. Let me know if you're up for a trek!
