Your a scrub if you don't get your gear at an REI garage sale or the army surplus.

Also Wool is the poo poo. No sleeping bag, just a surplus wool blanket is way more comfortable as long as it isn''t below 30.

I've often doubled a thick pair of hiking boots as my work boots. Multi purpose to justify the expense. I would look at elevation/weather/distance and consider your footwear choice. Sounds like a guided beginners trip will keep that in mind and you wont be too tortured by non-boot wearing but you never know.

Also never piss off the rain-gods and forget your rain gear especially in the PNW. If you cursed my hike by not bringing your poncho I would personally throw you in a river, as you wish to enjoy the water so much.



sound advise.
