Packing advice for Patagonia's Huemul Circuit in shoulder season
Packing advice for Patagonia's Huemul Circuit in shoulder season - Lemmy.world
Hi all! Looking for anyone with experience hiking in Patagonia in late shoulder season. I will be headed down at the start of November and plan to do the Huemul Circuit as well as a few other overnights. I am not overly concerned about my big 3 as I have a solid 20 degree sleep system and a Tarptent Stratopsire 2 that should hold up to the wind, but I AM seeking advice on clothing and footwear! This definitely seems like the trickiest call with the possibility of sustained extreme winds, rain, and cool temps. I was thinking of the following: * 3 pairs darn tough wool socks * 2/3 pairs underwear * 1 long sleeve sun hoody - open to suggestions, maybe a midweight capilene instead? * 1 t shirt * Capilene long underwear * Pants of some kind? Open to suggestions. * 1 pair running shorts * Down jacket * Rain jacket * Rain pants * Lighter weight fleece of some kind * Buff or fleece Skida hat * Cheap fleece gloves * Sunglasses Anything that you would recommend adding/removing? I am wondering if some form of rain mitts could be prudent. This is a lot of clothing already, so I am wondering if certain things are really necessary, such as both a short-sleeve shirt and a sun hoody.
