okay, what clothes do i need for my thru hike beginning 3/11/10. I am trying to get my pack weight down and i know i have over done it with clothes. I am trying to keep my pack to 35 and under. Is that reasonable, I am 5'6", 170 good muscle tone.

I'd do a search to see what other lists are. Another hiker just posted his list for NOBO March start, he's your age also.

You need hiking clothes (convertible pants, merino wool long sleeve, t-shirt for warmer days), rain jacket, base layer, outer jacket for camp, gloves, hat, 3 pr socks, possibly wind shirt though rain jacket can double (can get very windy)

35lbs with food, fuel, and water or without?
