1 - What's in your pack?
2 - What's not in your pack?
I'm at 25.66 lbs with 3 days food. What are you doing right? -or- What am I doing wrong? Does that include the video equipment
I'm impressed.

....when you receive your topo maps from the USGS via Fed-Ex for the area that your gonna hang in.....and spend the next couple of hours studying the route you're gonna hike.

I've recently obtained a refurbished Skyhook from Coghlan's ,could help haul out any product discovered.I'll be bringing it anyway to insert recently thawed Claxton Fruitcakes into the hiking arena.
Hickery, I've always heard there were just 2 fruitcakes in the whole world and they were just "re-gifted"...

Just wondering ... seems everyone is planning to go pretty light ... what'cha decided to leave out this trip that you normally would take? Doing anything different for the gorge over what you might have done previously?
My biggest ... and going to be the hardest ... is to filter out completely the "might need that" stuff and leave it at home. Like extra stuff.

Less clothing due to warmer temps. Homebrew summer top quilt rather than the big Cat's Meow bag as topquilt.
