I have worked hard for several years to reduce my pack weight from my original weight of 57 pounds, and have been planning toward a reasonable/functional weight for a thru-hike. All of the assumtions would be leaving on March 15th.
Would appreciate any and all suggestions, etc. for what I may be forgetting, or could improve on!
