Re: [at-l] BACKPACKING GEAR CHECK LIST

What is your total pack weight ? How far are you planning to hike ? More
weight you carry the less miles on the Trail. My pack weight is in the
range of 22(summer) to 27(spring and fall) pounds for a five day trip.
This three season backpacking.

To hike with light weight gear you have to know how use what you carry.
You do not need to carry 40 to 60 pound of gear to have a good time out
on the Trail. They are some great book out there on light weight
backpacking.
