I am only doing section hikes right now but planning to do a thru hike either next season or in 2015. This year I plan on hiking the Ga section from Neals gap up to Fontana damn. This is my list, any feedback would be helpful.
My pack, I removed the top and only use the bag on my hikes, I made the mistake of purchasing before getting more information. My pack is much to big and heavy for what I need but it is what I have.
