Hiking equipment list

Did a 2-day hike at Wilson's Prom a couple of weekends ago.   Here's the gear list I put together for it - this is for 2 adults and an 11 year old.   I didn't end up taking all of this.  Eg. didn't feel the need for an EPIRB, UHF radio or the cold-weather gear or gaiters and I used my iPhone as GPS (with a nifty app from MotionX).   The items in grey stayed at home.
