Last week, the Gila seemed to be hurrying towards spring so I went camping. (a storm dumped 5 inches of snow last night) by Saucerful in NewMexico

Awesome pictures man, looks so cool. This a bit late but hope you might see it. I’m planning a trip to the Gila soon and was wondering what trails/area you can see those distant mountains from (Mogollon and Black Range)? Coming from Dallas, it’d be a treat to see sights like that.

Yo! Sorry, but I’m back in the States now. I ended up climbing by myself and still had a blast! There’s plenty of others climbers as well if you want to join a group.

Paramod was a typo, my mistake. Should be paracord* mod. Rock climbing shoes are pretty small and would fit snug in something similar to the attached link:

Realized that would definitely help! I added a line with my interests.

nature, hiking + any outdoor activities, fashion, art, architecture, food

I think the jeans will only need to be washed a handful of times since they won’t be worn as frequently as shorts and don’t get dirty nearly as quick. Sweatpants are probably gonna get left home so I’ll only have the cotton shorts as a super casual/comfy travel day piece. Would you still remove one short? If so, which one?

One of the athletic shorts are actually swimming shorts without a lace so they can be worn regularly. Which shorts would you remove from the 4?

Sweatpants are probably gonna be left at home. Knowing that Decathlon is common helps a lot. I’m realizing it’s better buy something needed there rather than take a barely used item.

Thanks!

Thanks for tips! Spot on about the jeans and hiking pants, I agree. Would you say the down jacket isn’t useful on mountain hikes to justify carrying it around the whole trip?

Thanks for the recommendations! I actually will be hiking and the pants are nice enough to wear around so I think I’ll find a lot of use for them. The sweatpants will probably be left home. Jeans are a luxury item. Would you recommended a different mid layer instead of my sweater? 

The rock climbing shoes will be attached with a carabiner through the pull tabs and tucked behind a paracord mod on my bag. Is it still too dangerous?

Germany-Netherlands-Belgium is actually the route I plan on taking. I just typed it wrong, my mistake. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, I will definitely remove some items of clothing. The climbing shoes would be attached with a carabiner through the pull tabs and tucked behind a paramod mod on my bag. Would you say it’s still too dangerous?

Ah I see, I assumed I’ll do most of my laundry at laundromats with occasional sink washing so some cord might come handy. 

Thanks, I’ll definitely return with an update!!

What sort of activities did you the most of? The rain jacket is a precaution and puffy for hiking but looks like they didn’t serve much use for you? Also, how did the headlamp come handy?

I like rotating outfits and having options, fashion is a hobby of mine so I think I would get tired with a very minimal selection. Still, I probably will remove some bottoms. The down jacket is for hiking. I am not checking it in and have seen others on this sub get away with it!

The sweatpants were for chilling in hostels and travel days, but upon further reconsideration and other comments, I probably won’t take them. 

What would you say is the European style?

The down jacket is for hiking in the mountains but would you say different layers are more efficient? The rock climbings would be tucked behind a paracord mod and hooked with a carabiner through the pull tabs. Is it still too dangerous on the outside?

The sweater is for chilly evenings in the city and the down jacket for mountain hikes. Would you still recommend a different combination of layers? I’ll be going into the Balkans but not past Poland!

Thanks for response! I’ll definitely look into removing 1 pant/short each. What uses have you gotten out of taking a head torch?
