I have asked a lot of questions over the past year and would like to thank all of you for being patient with my newbie status but I will be off line in a little over a week to head to PA to pick up my brother (hiking parnter) and then heading south for some shakedowns and then a late Feb start. ( So no more posts!)
Final question, one last gear purchase to make. Again, I am hiking with my brother. We both will be carrying ULA Catalysts, 15* Montbell Super Stretch's, and Therma Rest 3 season regulars. We are splitting weight on other things like first aid, cooking and all misc. stuff. We are under 30lbs with food and water now. Actually closer to 25 lbs. He is using a Six Moon Design Lunar Duo. I still need to buy a tent for myself. To me,
camping is going to be a big part of this trip. I am considering a 3 person tent for myself to have extra space. I am looking at this REI tent http://www.rei.com/product/761895
I could split the weight up and have him carry the fly, we could switch out every now and then.. What do you all think??
