These are a few of the more utilitarian items. We chose jetboil stoves because we like having water boil quickly and we already owned them, so they were the cheapest for us. Seth's trekking poles are the most durable of light trekking poles to support that big boy up the trail. I liked how the handles felt on my trekking poles, which are also very light. Seth quit smoking cigarettes for the trail (!), but he continues to enjoy his pipe. We decided on doing the 4L Platypus for filtering water so we can filter lots of water quickly and have the option of hosing each other off if we're feeling particularly gross.
