I'm starting my NOBO Thru Hike next week and don't have much time to make significant changes to my packing list. The totals are:
Base Weight: 20.62 pounds
Max Pack Weight: 32.3 pounds (5 days of food, full water bottle)
Wear Weight: 5.7 pounds
Max Total Weight: 38.6 pounds
That's definitely a higher base weight than I wanted, but the cold temps forecast for the next 10 days (some lows in the low 20s) have me lugging my 10-degree down bag versus my 32-degree bag and liner in addition to a few more clothes than I would otherwise carry. My first opportunity to swap out gear will be at Newfound Gap. I'll add insect repellent in a few weeks.
Anyway, my complete list with items followed by weight in ounces and count is below. Please tell me where I've got it wrong!
