Not trying to sound like a smart a$$ - one thing that wasn't mentioned to "lighten your load" was body weight. I know people that drilled holes in the handle of their toothbrush to save weight, yet they were carrying 10 lbs of fat on their waistline.

That’s a self correcting problem doing a thru hike. Most people lose weight.

I put on pounds every Winter in preparation for the next long hike. Dropped 35 pounds over two months last year hiking New England mountains. Weekenders might benefit from your "advice", but it would kill me
