I just bought some base layers, sock liners and glove liners from LandsEnd. They seem very comfortable. I've been going by the Columbia outlet and have picked up mittens, a neck gaiter and hat. I think I found my waterproof pants for around $20 at Dicks Sporting goods.

My dilemma now is deciding exactly what I need as far as camera gear goes. Will I need a polarizing filter? Should I bring a backup camera? What focal length lenses are recommended? Is it worthwhile to bring a tripod or monopod?
