Appreciate any and all info on my gear list. Some beta: heading out April 23 to section hike Georgia--Amicolola to Deep Gap, North Carolina.
Some things can't change: not buying another backpack (I live in Colorado and need this solid pack for all the mountaineering I do). Not buying another tent (heavy, yes; but my buddy's carrying the other half).
Other than that, critique away! Let me know about anything I need to take away or add. Thanks, in advance.
