I just saw the Resource for How to ask for a shakedown, sooooo.
Where are you going and when: Canyonlands National Park, 3 days kayaking thru Stillwater Canyon, 3 days hiking in the Maze.
What temp range and weather do you expect: temp can run from a low in the 30's to highs in the 70's
Goal Baseweight (BPW): it's currently around 15 according to Lighterpack but I'm not sure what it should include.
Budget: up to $500
Non-negotiable Items: insulated thick air mattress (I'm a side sleeper), my high back chair, knee brace
Solo or with another person?: with a group of 6 people
Additional Information: I need to address my first aid kits. I'm mainly concerned about bone breaks & bleeding out.
