I'm interested in hearing what you guys think, but I'm fairly certain that this is what I'm going to be heading to Georgia with. I know it's not ultra light and I'm bringing some things that many of you may laugh at, but here it is.

http://boblake.name/thru-hike-gear-list/



As of February 7th, this is my current gear list. It weighs 34.9 lbs total, with 27.5 lbs in my backpack (including food/water) and a “base weight (no food/water) of 17.5 lbs. This is down from over 50 lbs when I started in November. I also added up the cost of all this gear and it came up to $2,329. I already had some of this, but I expect I bought at least $1,700 in new gear.
I’m doing a ‘no-cook’ hike, which means all the food I eat would not require cooking. So things like tortillas, peanut butter, trail mix, candy bars, dry cereal, protein powder, etc. This is why you don’t see a stove or pots/pans.
