Gear List for a Solo 10-Day Boundary Waters Trip

This listing is in draft mode because it keeps changing. It approximates the total amount of gear I bring along when paddling and camping by myself in the Boundary Waters. I prefer trips of about 10 days so the quantities are intended for that duration.
