Gear

Every long distance hiker becomes some sort of weight freak. Specifically the weight carried on your back. So I bought a scale and broke down all aspects of what I'm carrying. My base weight is about 16.5 pounds which is great, but will vary depending on what add-ons I have. Then there's the food, water, and fuel that will be 15 - 25 pounds.
