Pack list-Good or no

[Alaskanhkr23]

and bear spray is my confort thing so who care's if i bring it.it doesen't affect anyone if it on my belt or not,and it has a safety latch so no its not going to spray if i fall

[Alaskanhkr23]

when you deal with grizzlies you get a heighten awareness for bears.not my fault,but back to my last question do i even need a tent

[Egads]

Do i even need a tent? this tent is so heavy

Then carry a lighter tent. I recommend the Six Moon Designs Lunar Duo or even a REI T1.

Tents are nice to have refuge from other hikers or bugs

does anyone else besides me think it's a bit to early and wet for the LT this week?

A knife is a very personal item. It is a friend carried. Take the knife you feel at home with. If you read the posts, no two pack lists are identical, everyone carries something someone else sees no need for. I have carried a fixed blade for 50 years. There are many times a smaller knife would have worked, however there have been times that the fixed blade was the solution.

Happy trails

many of the trails run through state land and may still be closed.

I've been hiking the AT for 30 years and never needed a fixed blade.

[Alaskanhkr23]

eh i like my knife,it is bulky though,

[vonfrick]

why take anything you don't really need?

[Alaskanhkr23]

if you really must know,just to make my life a living hell.

if you want a strong/lite fixed blade..look at the cold steel K4 neck knife 2.2 oz, 3.9 in sheath with lanyard, 4in blade with full tang. comes with serrated or plain blade
