Me & my GF will be doing a 63 mile / 5 night loop in the Nyack region at the end of July. Any trip advice would be helpful.
A little background - I have camped in black bear country before (Adirondacks) so I'm familiar with safe food prep/storage protocol. Our current plan is to put the majority of the food in her pack and put the heavy stuff in my pack. I haven't done a multi-day loop back-country loop this long before so I am very excited - but I know that means I am going to forget something critical.
Q1: Is there a recommended place between the Airport and Glacier to pick up bear spray?
A1: [Army Navy Store]
Q2: What is the recommended clothing for a late July Nyack trip?
A2: [ Rain Shell, Hiking Boots, Water Shoes, Layers (25°F - 80°F)]
Q3: Anyone know where to get a GIANT rain cover to fit a massive pack?
Q4: Am I missing anything critical in my gear list?
