Permit pending but id like to try the Four Pass Loop in Colorado this summer. I also do a yearly camping trip at Blue Mesa Reservoir near Gunnison, CO.

that's great! what kind of gear do you bring for 80km?

Good question. There's still some details I'll have to figure out, but there are three aspects to take into consideration, it's just a hike, it's a longer distance than I'm used to and it's in fall where temps might dip below freezing. So I'll bring my 3-season gear + undetermined amount of food. I've been out up to -13c with the gear so the temperatures should be fine

Water
- BeFree filter and a 3 liter bottle for it
- A separate bottle for drinking
- Purification tablets in case the filter breaks
Food
- ??? I'll have to figure out how much calories I need on a hike and multiply it by the days we're out
- Either a gas or wood stove, depending on the weather
Sleep
- Eno doublenest hammock + eno bugnet + dd underquilt + dd superlight tarp + suspension + ropes
- 3 season sleeping bag
Clothes
- I would normally bring only extra socks, but maybe this time extra underwear as well
- Probably an extra set of clothes, separate from the backpack so that I can shower after the hike before the drive back home
Hygiene
- Toothbrush & co
- Dish brush & co
- A ton of tissues ( https://www.verywellhealth.com/runny-nose-in-cold-weather-83155 )
- Hand sanitizer
- Toilet paper
Health
- First aid kit
Misc
- Power bank
- extra shoes
- Knife
- Lamp
- A thermometer
