I was given a Teton Hiker 3700. I believe the specs say its 4lbs. Do I build my gear around it or return it to the owner? The original owner said he used it 4 times, but was in an accident and will never hike again.
I know there is a ultra light movement going on right now and i get that even though 4lbs is light compaired to many... its not under the 2lb range.
I have yet to actually hike a mile... but plan to start this spring with weekends with my 9yo daughter, then on to week long trips. And maybe... just maybe... a thru hike before i find myself 6 feet underground.
Thoughts?
Only other gear i have is a big agness gunn creek 30 bag and a pocket rocket knock off stove. Oh, and a sawyer mini.
