Here is my typical winter hiking gear list for when I am snowshoeing. If it is raining hard I leave the heavy camera at home and bring a point and shoot and I take extra polypro base layers instead of a down jacket. Click link below to read more:
I don't normally carry any water in the Olympics. If I know I am doing a dry hike, then I will bring my Platypus filled with water. I don't use a water filter, so I don't drink water downstream from tree farms or outhouses.
I bring two pairs of gloves because handwarmers do not work when they are wet. I bring two light sources because the winter days are short up here so, I do a lot of hiking in the dark and the extra light source also holds an extra battery that I can use in my GPS. I should probably add my silnylon tarp for the winter, then I could sip my tea with getting rained on.
I won't ever carry all of this stuff at once, for example I won't carry both cameras at once I hope that at least half of the time the snowshoes are on my feet.
