Hi Everyone,I figured that we have many tall hikers who have difficulty finding gear and keeping it light. So I am sharing my findings, and I hope that people will share what they have found that works for them.My base pack weight is right at 15 pounds. I would love to go lighter, but hard to do with my height. It is changing by the day. https://lighterpack.com/r/ujnph1I am 7'3".I weigh around 315 pounds.I have a size 17 shoe size.
Love to hear your thoughts and see on where I can cut more weight from my pack. I have found some great small companies willing to help. Dutchgear makes wonderful hammocks at custom length. https://dutchwaregear.com/Cedar Ridge Gear makes great custom sleeping bags for the hammock all custom length. http://www.cedarridgegear.com/Elemental Horizon makes great custom backpacks. https://elementalhorizons.com/Lightheart Gear made my custom rain gear. And it is incredible!https://lightheartgear.com/
See you on the trail!
