Hello there! Moosky here. I have put together a preliminary list of gears. I am planning for SOBO next year, starting in early or mid July. You'll notice that I haven't included the pack yet because that will be the last thing on my list, after I finalize all the other gears. Some of the weight info are just guesstimates. Let me know if they are inaccurate.
Any comments on how to reduce weight is welcomed! Total base weight stands at about 14.7lb right now. It would be great if I can get it down to 12lb. But of course, please point out if I have left out any critical gear. Thanks in advance!
I have added hyper links to some of the gears to help other thru hikers who are planning. Also I recommend a great site to keep track of your gear list: http://www.geargrams.com/
