My husband is NOBO this year and saw a girl hiking with her pet duck. Apparently the duck is bonded with her. I don't know if they are still on the trail...
machetes, hatchets, those big bear grylis type survival knives
That duck ain't gonna make it.
can't never did
He'll hike his own hike though.
can't never did
Saw a guy near Maine carrying what looked like similar to a shark spear gun. Looked heavy duty. I never had the chance to ask him what he was using it for.

I got a gorilla pod. Haven't decided if I will take it on my section hike. I'm hardly a serious photographer. But it's only 1.6 oz

That would be 16 Oz. I like mine.

We found a Stun Gun in the hiker box at Neels Gap...
thanks. im still in the research phase, but this is the one I found so far on Amazon. I believe it is about 4.2 ounces..... I thought it may be good for wrapping around larger trees, etc.

Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

A Martin backpacker guitar weighs a kilo.fragile? yea kinda sorta.
But my squeezebox with cardboard bellows and at 3 kilos wouldn't last long on the trail
notes of appreciation will be accepted.
The link info states 45.3g which is 1.6 oz, not 16 oz.
We met a couple of vets this last week at Unicoi Gap. They were both carrying their military issue packs loaded down to about 60 lbs. One was carrying a large spear.
Been using one of these for a few years, and it works great with a point and shoot camera. 46 gr (1.6 oz) on my scale.
