replying to @coasthikergirl @coasthikergirl @billbrokob @sue_squared @ZPacksLLC I know how u feel. I don’t mind my puffy jacket because it’s barely worn #gearmeout

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival a5: #GearMeOut I think I'm good actually. Maybe a lighter tent.

replying to @billbrokob @billbrokob @eddieG805 How many miles are you going to have to average per day? #GearMeOut
WildWithinHer
replying to @coasthikergirl @coasthikergirl Absolutely. Added to the system in 2009 and the object of many of a daydream of mine. #GearMeOut

replying to @Todd_the_Hiker @Todd_the_Hiker I've seen you hike, you can out hike most people my age in better shape than I. #GearMeOut

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @UST_Survival Some of it also depends on whether you're going solo or in a small group. #GearMeOut

replying to @danielhuman @danielhuman Yes summer here in pa is super warm so I can go with only a sheet in my hammock so I drop lots of weight right there #gearmeout
WildWithinHer
replying to @coasthikergirl @coasthikergirl @UST_Survival Good point. I'd probably be solo or with one other person. #GearMeOut

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival A5. I don’t think I would have to upgrade anything, but ask after the first 100 miles. #gearmeout

replying to @billbrokob @billbrokob @TaigaAdventures @coasthikergirl That is so so so true. #GearMeOut
Hiker_Steve
replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival That's really hard to do here in BC. Some hikes don't have trees, some camp spots don't allow hammocks. #GearMeOut
coasthikergirl
replying to @danielhuman @danielhuman @eddieG805 Wow. That's certainly sacrificing a bit. Hammocks are a fantastic way to drop weight! #GearMeOut
UST_Survival
replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @coasthikergirl Wonder how much gear my dog could carry. I did upgrade her hiking pack. #GearMeOut

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival A5) Having new hips and knees would be a nice upgrade. #GearMeOut

replying to @coasthikergirl @coasthikergirl @danielhuman @eddieG805 I now own a hammock, so I'll definitely be trying it out this summer! #GearMeOut
eddieG805
replying to @coasthikergirl @coasthikergirl @billbrokob Yes I’ve gotten a few salomans and they are good for about 600-700 miles with hard use I’d say. #gearmeout

replying to @eddieG805 @eddieG805 @coasthikergirl They are well worth the extra weight in my estimation! They beat a log, rock, or the ground any day! #GearMeOut

replying to @naturetechfam @sue_squared @UST_Survival My pack is going to be heavy until our littlest gets better st carrying his own stuff! 😉 #GearMeOut
