Where and when: McKee Draw to Hayden Pass (westbound), first few days of September

What temp range and weather do you expect: 40F-70F, high exposure, potential multiple daily thunderstorms, hail possible, worst case heavy rain and/or below-freezing conditions

Goal Baseweight (BPW): somewhere ~6 lbs, I’d be willing to add stuff

Budget: <$100

Non-negotiable Items: nothing’s non-negotiable but not enough time or money to make major changes

Solo or with another person?: Solo

Additional Information: I’ve backpacked the AZT/PCT/CDT with similar kits but never in Utah outside brief peakbagging trips in the La Sals. I’d love to skip to Leidy TH. I’d enjoy meeting like-minded hikers but am comfortable alone. Considering adding a small cook kit to give me something to do if/when riding out thunderstorms
