The gear they describe in the article shows a multi tool. Did you really take a multi tool with you? I've not done my thru hike yet but hear that those are some of the first items to be dropped of at mile 31.
I didn't take any of that stuff. They wanted me to pose with a stainless steel water jug that weighed 4 pounds empty and I said no- I would be laughed out of the hiking community! But I think some of that stuff they showed is nice for shorter hikes.
