Hi all, I'm leaving tomorrow AM for a 7-8 night solo trip in Monongahela Nat. Forest (WV.) In particular I will be in the Spruce Knob area. This is an area that I am moderately familiar with. I was supposed to leave this AM, but the Missus and I were at the Levon Help show last night and I had just gotten of a straight 10 day work period, and I wasn't up to a 6 hr drive.
Anyways, my pack wt. is abt. 36 lbs including 2 liters of water. My food weight is 12 lbs. This is a bit heavier than I am used to, however, since this is the longest solo trip I have ever taken, I didn't want to skimp on supplies. For what it's worth, my previous longest solo trip was 3 nights.
Soooo..... I don't have much in the way of a question, more like, does anyone have any advice or suggestions? I am planning on some off trail hiking and exploring the meadows at the top of High Meadows Trail.
Thanks all.
