Considering a Nero/ questions...
Base is 11.8 now
With the pack change and a few gear tweaks, i could be right at 10 lbs
Some say base should be lower to consider a frameless pack
I am a section hiker, have made it to woods hole, va.
A concern is, since i can only get out there 1-2 times per year, i do big sections (80-100 miles). So
i need food for 5-6 days sometimes.
I know re-supply is frequent on the AT, but i would rather be hiking with the minimal time
i am out there.
Any advise,experience with the nero, or hiking with/changing to frameless would be appreciated....

5-6 days food can vary greatly between hikers. Water carried is a big factor too. What is your starting food weight and the most water you'll carry in the first couple days of your section? Everybody has their own threshold for weight comfortably carried. in my frameless pack, I don't like more than 20-22lbs.
