Army Ant

All gear has arrived. Pack with 4 days of food and two liters of water is 37 pounds. I do not know how people go lighter, I have been over and over what is packed, except for food and water, I do not know where I can cut any weight.
This is the pack I will start the trail with and see if anyone has tips on how to go lighter.
Just under 2 months left before we head for Georgia, I have excited days, and scared days, and days when I don't believe I am going to do this.
I wish my friends Kris, Tom, Mike, Andy as well as my son could go with me, that would be a PARTY!!!! This hike is also for them!
