One thing I noticed people didn't mention was screen brightness. Your phone screen is one of the largest power drains on a smartphone. Keep that screen brightness down if you'll be doing anything but...
I would personally recommend the sawyer mini. It's about the same price but much more versatile. You can run it in line with a hydration pack, on a plastic water bottle after filling, and can also...

I've tried it and had better luck with a section of refectix cut to proper size put under the pad. Can be found at most hardware/ home improvement stores and reflects a LOT of heat back.
To pack,...
I bought a exos 46 from rei because it looked perfect on paper but after using it for two weekend hikes my experience wasn't that great. For me personally, I felt like they went too light on the hip...

Zpacks solplex tent. Finally ready for my SOBO thru. Love my wife!
+1. Simple, easy, and relatively fast. A good wind screen is important for any stove setup.
In similar weather conditions, and with similar clothing, I just take my beanie off for a few minutes to thermo-regulate. It's something you may want to try. It's a lot easier than stripping off...
Many shirts are 100 percent merino wool and socks are a blend. This is because socks are a higher wear item and wool by itself isn't that durable. You'll pay a premium for full merino clothing but...
Well made. Great colors.
I've been on an ultralight transition for the last 6 months and use my iPhone 5 all the time on short trips for pictures. I WOULD NOT use it for thru hike because I personally wouldn't sacrifice...
Picked up the "hawk&co" version at tjmax a few weeks ago for $50. Decent jacket for what it is. Men's medium weighs 9.0 oz even on my scale. And yes...it's made it china.

I plan on taking the leatherman style cs on my thru next year. There are only two major uses that I can foresee, but they are big ones: using the knife to open and cut food, and using the scissors to...

He is the guy that movie and book "into the wild" is written about. Good movie, haven't read the book. A quick google search will tell you all you want to know.

Don't be afraid of frameless packs as long as you know you can pack it reasonably well (balanced) and don't think you'll exceed its max weight it can comfortably carry. There are many great frameless...
Razor blade.
I've thought about this for my thru hike next year and agree with lone wolf. Your pack is your life line on the trail, keep it with you always and no trouble with find you.
