    Hey! Feel free to download my gear list from my 2015 thru-hike. My base weight was 19 pounds. https://appalachiantrailclarity.com/at-for-newbies/

    If you download the "Clarity's Supply List by the End", you'll see my original list with items marked out that I got rid of during my hike.

    Hope this helps!
    Great blog site for new and/or female hikers! www.appalachiantrailclarity.com

    For me, a buff is an essential - wool during cooler seasons, regular in summer. It has so many uses and weighs almost nothing. If you haven't used one before, practice with it. You can make a regular beanie hat, neck gaiter, skullcap, balaclava out of it. Summer time, drop it in the creek and wipe all over your head and face, leave it hanging on your neck and it will cook you down. I know some use a bandana, but I like the buff better.

    The lighterpack website is very helpful. I think where you live a trip to Outdoor Trails in Daleville would be worth the trip. Take your full gear list and walk thru it with them.

    THe notebook I carried was the best item I had. Weight of all the memories I wrote down was nothing. The joy in reading that journal a year later was priceless.
