I have been reading on this site for about 10 years and always found great information. I have finally decided to take the plunge and attempt an AT thru hike starting the 2nd week in March from Springer. I have done a bunch of 5 day hikes on the AT and Foothills trail and most of what I have or brought has worked well. For my thru I am now hoping to get some feedback on my gear from the experts on this site. I think I am OK on weight. Even though it lists at 21.5 lbs (without food or water), taking off the worn clothes and poles, the base weight is now down to about 16 lbs. I feel pretty good about that. Any suggestions on things I could reasonably cut out or things I am missing would be appreciated.
My list is online here.
Thanks
G
