What to carry, what to wear, what to leave home? Gear choices are critical components of every hike preparation. Ounces add up to pounds, multiply trail effort, increase the odds of injury, and subtract from enjoyment. So a gear list we make and fiddle with incessantly right up until day one and beyond. I can guarantee this list will not be exactly the same two weeks from now and it won't be exactly the same when I finish the trip. But it's good to get organized and to work from a plan.
(This post, as is true with most blog posts, is best viewed in the web version.)
Peace, Love, and To Be Continued,
