Will you help me pack for school? I need a list of apparel that I will need I am going to school in the mountains of the West where it will be all seasons outdoors. Summer through Spring. I don%26#039;t have any fleece or rain parkas or anything for being outside all the time and I am packing to go soon and need to buy stuff at REI Patagonia and I have no idea where to begin. Thank you!

Go to a sporting goods store and ask for under armor - it looks thin, but it keeps whatever area of your body you%26#039;re getting it for really toasty, it%26#039;s much better than wearing long johns. After that, get a thermal winter coat that%26#039;s breathable; it helps if it has layers, but it%26#039;s winter, so you%26#039;re going to be cold, so it really doesn%26#039;t matter. Then a REAL hat, not a wrap, you need to keep your entire head warm. And gloves. Finger ones, so you have access to everything. Make sure you layer up on those just in case. After all the bulky stuff is out of the way, pack up your jeans and sweats - long sleaves and swaet shirts.

Through the spring you%26#039;re gonna want layers, because the weather in the mountains I%26#039;m sure is going to be just like in the northeast - never know what the frigg is gonna happen! So dim down, but be prepared.

Summer, you can thin it out, but don%26#039;t wear shorts or tanks. You%26#039;re still gonna be outside in the WILDERNESS. Watch the first day you try and wear shorts or roll up your jeans you get infested with ticks. It%26#039;s going to be fine to wear T%26#039;s *you don%26#039;t want to overheat* but it%26#039;s crazy to be up there and not be wearing pants.

BOOTS!!! Don%26#039;t bother with sneakers. AND waterproof them! Go to walmart or something and go over to the camping section to look for a can of waterproofer. Spray the boots like crazy. You%26#039;ll need it.

Get the rain coat, you%26#039;ll need that, I%26#039;m sure. Are you in a cabin or in tents? If you%26#039;re going to need a sleeping bag, I suggest the most insulated one you can find (and when it%26#039;s the winter, don%26#039;t put extra blankets on TOP, stick them inside with you)

Anything extra, I%26#039;m sure you can figure out on your own
