Sandy's list (attempt to post trial 2)

Its loooong I know. But specific.


-back country gear: avy probe, shovel (No frills, just light)

- I need a new backpack for everything. My school bag is about to die, so I figured I could replace it with an everything backpack: one that works for school, for backcountry skiing and as a day hiking backpack. Or a crunched weekend trip backpack.
Note: I can’t decide between these two
MEC Alpinelite 45 Backpack 139.00$ ( standard length)
• Has nice hipstraps (more padding)
• Very little flex in the back.
vs:
Arc’teryx Borea 35 L (tall) backpack ( I think around 149$)
• Has more flex in the back.
• Arc’terix = better quality
• Less volume

-New sleeping bag (something like the MEC Hybrid (regular length) to -12mummy. Check out MEC hybrid.

- Book: field notes on a compassionate life: Marc Ian Barasch (I think )

- nice pottery tea pot (big one)

- Okaley crowbar snow googles. white frames maybe? or black or pink? 

- white bone earrings http://www.naturalorganicjewelry.com/Bone_Earrings_en.html
like the ones 3rrd from the left top row.
Or the ones in the bottom right corner of the page.
(like the ones I had… which I lost, from the U of C jewelry store

- pillow case for my body pillow (a solid colour)

- MEC small bra one solid colour MEC Seamless 'B' Bra (Women's) 21$ preferably plum or blue or yellow

- A leather man that has a bottle opener and a can opener on it ( the downfall of my current and now broken swiss army knife)
eg: Gerber Flik Multi-Tool

-MEC Hut Booties 2 (Unisex) small (preferably redwood/red/then blues…

- pannier bike bags (good ones, that are waterproof, relatively large, and people friendly. Maybe the MEC 40L cycling ones, or 36L Cardioa panniers… essentially I would like some for some more bike touring!)

- lulu shorts : still shorts II ?? medium?

- hike west coast trail / bike trip / something outside with you guys…. Sailing??? Family time?? Biking around Iceland?
- free living this summer
- money/ lift tickets for skiing
-Oh gee I want a tent. Maybe me and Janaya could share a tent? Its not my priority. But I want one eventually.
- climbing rope?
-hiking poles, scramble book, hiking book,
- pottery

- always love card games/ board games to have around
- neat things
- beaters for making cakes
-always need clothes, socks ( ski socks!), underwear *
- Ohhh good smelling soaps… have found I like these

- I know it is highly unlikely, but I want one. A NICE camera. A cannon I think, a cyber shot? Digital SLR, High ISO ( so I can do low light shots) image stabilization features, high megapixels, a decent sized LCD screen, a view finder, black and white options,
• I’ve heard good things about:
• Canon Rebel XTi Digital SLR Camera
• Canon 20-30D Digital SLR Camera
• lense: I have NO idea (yet)
