UL Thru Hike Gear List and Review

My pack is so ultralight, you can barely see it.

I suppose I'm rested up a bit and ready to start on all these writing projects I've had in mind for some time. First off is talking about my gear for the AT. I had a base weight of just under 9 lbs. I think I only met 5 other people hiking sub-10 which is what people consider "ultralight". I really liked having a low pack weight. I have a history of back problems so it really makes a big difference to me. Even if I carry more water during a day, the next morning I can get spasms or even have difficulty getting up. Having a low weight makes for a much more enjoyable experience for me....
