Here is my gear list from my Central Virginia Section hike last year, planned to be out for a month (June). This is my FSO weight but does not include food or water. For my hike next month I'm using Teva Trail Shoes instead of Vasque Sundowners. That's a saving of 24 ounces. Have to admit I'm skeptical about giving up the ankle support but very pleased at the weight reduction. You can tell I'm not an ultra-lighter yet but working on it. Suggestions appreciated.
