Now that my start date is less then a month away I've been getting all my gear finalized.
I've been making my own gear for a while now and a good majority of what I'm going to be using is homemade.
I'm starting July 31 heading Westbound. I'd love to get some feedback - I'm feeling pretty confident in my choices, but it's always good to hear what other experienced hikers think.
Pack weight w/out food is hovering just under 15#.
I'm planning mail drops in Breckenridge, Buena Vista (via Rt. 365) and Creede.
