Estimated SOBO thru hike departure from BSP is 26 May 16 but am flexible based upon conditions. My list of kit can be found at https://lighterpack.com/r/1lm65

I need a good shakedown. No worries, y'all won't hurt my little feelings. I have some idea of items to eliminate but appreciate the opinion of more experienced AT'ers.

Most kit decisions were based on adverse weather conditions initially in the northern states then I will lighten load as I get to PA, WV & VA. Remember...this is a SOBO thru-hike.

Thanks in advance!!!

This is the big picture right now:

(minus worn clothing I have a carried weight of 32.02 lbs)
(minus 12.41 lbs of consumables I have a base weight of 19.61 lbs)
