Mine is my poncho. Besides being emergency rainwear, I use it for a sit-pad, a ground cloth for packing and unpacking, a bivy tarp, a lightweight blanket for napping, the list is endless. I can't imagine hiking without one.

My favorite piece of gear is probably my Merrell leathers. I love them. You cant ever have boots that are to good! Next is probably my Western Mountaineering High lite. Fantastic bag.

My favorite piece of gear has to be my Seattle Sombrero. I'd rather forget almost anything except my hat.

Hmmmmm.... There are several things I couldn't do without. But I will say my bladder.

Ah ha, I have done and injustice to Mr. Curtis! My favorite piece of gear over the last 14 years has to be my Curtis RAFT! That little piece of petrolium has done more for me than any other piece of gear!

Thanks, TB.
I've lost my share of knives, too. The compass I'm using I found on a rock. I figure the hills are really just a great big gear exchange.

My brand-spankin' new Curtis Raft, for a couple reasons. I won't be takin' my float tube any more, which gets my weight down to be able to use my new Golite daypack and my new Merrell shoes. This combination of gear will allow me to scramble off-trail to my favorite lakes to fish with flotation for two nights under 15 lbs. The new gear and fly-weight strategies may keep me hiking for another 20 years.

I am not finding anyone else leaving me any Delicas in the woods (or at work for that matter) and the damn things are now running $60. I think I'm on my 4th in like 3 years. :angry:

The single most versatile and often used item on my gearlist has become a very light polyester hoody. The tight knit kind made for fishing are too hot in summer. The softer knit fabrics tend to pill. There is one, however that adds warmth as an under layer in winter and is super cool in the summer yet doesn’t pill even under pack straps. Keeps sun off and with a coat of permethrin the bugs too. I now usually wear it year round. Kuhl Engineered Hoody. Wish they made more colors!

My trusty old osprey exos pack... almost as old as this thread! Closing in on 2 million vertical feet, held together by many replacement parts at this point... but still going.
