I like your thought on "multi tasking gear." This is really making me consider dropping my bag liner and extra baselayers. I did a 5 mile hike in my town yesterday with a 20lb pack. (I live in a...

Thanks for your response! Please don't "keep quiet" about my clothing what do you think? Do I have to much? To little?

As for your other suggestions,
1. The sleeping bag liner will be one of the...

Hey guys just wondering what some of you pack out besides what you eat for your meals on a thru hike? I have a pretty good idea of what I will eat for my meals but I've been doing some thinking on...

What would you say I'm missing for cold weather gear? I'm still looking into a pair of gloves and a nicer hat but I'm curious what you think I should add to avoid a chilly start!

Thanks for your feedback! Still up in the air about my camp/ town shoes. Those xero clouds actually look pretty sweet but I'm not a huge fan of something between my toes when it comes to sandals. How...

Your right I tested it out about a month ago and was pretty chilled halfway through the night. I'm in the market for a thermarest xlite now. R value is just above 3 I believe. Thoughts?

Wow great point!! Your absolutely right. I don't know how much food I'll need to keep me sustained and I'll hopefully figure that out quickly. I generally drink quite a bit of water throughout the...

Sorry for the confusion. I have 2lbs of food PER DAY. In my link I have 160 ounces for 5 days. If I can, I will try and shoot for a resupply every 4 days to save on weight but I'm planing for some...

I can't decide on Frog Togs or no Togs! The weight difference seems like a huge win but I feel the Precip will keep me warmer especially with my earlier start. Maybe I'll pick up a pair and see how...

You know I was looking at how heavy they are and thinking I could go lighter. But I'm not sure exactly; I like the idea of having a sandal like shoe where I can let my feet breathe when I'm walking...

It's 2 lbs for 4 days. (I have since changed it to 5 days) if you look to the right the quantity for food is 5 so 2lbs x 5 days. I also added an approximate weight of two full smart water bottles....

After some research I definitely plan on purchasing one of these. They are pricey though so I am looking on for some sales and checking ebay.

Yeah I tried it out once and it was pretty cold. I added a bag liner but looking into a pad with a better r value.

Quilt is rated for 20 degrees. I did a twenty degree night out in it with just my puffy, baselayers, beanie, quilt and pad. I was fine in the beginning of the night but woke up pretty cold. I'm...

In my lighterpack link I included my the weight of my almost full fuel canister and 2 lbs of food for 4 days. So I'm at 25lbs now but still need to account for water wt and all the other little...

Thanks for the response! I really appreciate your help. I will definitely add rain pants. Here are some of my thoughts.

My plan was to hike in a baselayer, shorts, and rainpants for my bottom...

Hello all,

Ahhh yes another shakedown post..... For those of you trying to help or for those of you who want to critique here is my current ligtherpack link. https://lighterpack.com/r/bv86pb ...

Your right!!! I tested out my sleep system last weekend with a twenty degree night. It worked alright with my EE Enigma 20 Degree and my down jacket and a hat but I'm trying to buy a lightweight...

I'm leaving Springer on March 3rd 2019 and trying to dial in my gear the best I can before hand. I'm really trying to prepare for the cold weather in the beginning and have been debating on bringing...
