i know it’s four months away until i start my hike (and it’s still tentative at the moment due to school issues), but i’m stoked because i’ve got my packweight (everything minus food, fuel, and water) to under 10 pounds. i have a complete gear list with weights if anyone is interested.
it would also be interesting to compare gear lists of other ultralight CT hikers just to see what others are doing.
good luck!
