Hello...
We are a couple planning a SOBO hike. We are looking for any comments or suggestions on our gear list, and thoughts about how we could reduce our weight - well not ours, but our packs.
We're splitting things up, so some things are on his list and some are on hers. All items have the weight in parentheses - all in ounces. We weighed everything on our digital scale.
Any help is greatly appreciated... THANK YOU!
