\nSome folks have been asking about the gear I will be carrying with me on my thru-hike. The weather is pretty uninviting outside today, and Jodi is working so I am home alone, so I took some time this morning and did a little photo-essay on my gear. Rather than post a long series of photos here, I posted them to my photo gallery instead. You can find them here<\/a>. Be sure to click on the photos to see the full description.<\/p>\n

I don’t have the weight of every item. I don’t own a scale so I can’t weight them myself. Below is a list of some of the major items that I do have weights for. The weights given are the catalog weights so you can assume that the actual weights differ a bit, but hopefully not by much. Note that most of my clothing is not included in these weights, nor is food and water. You can figure roughly 2 pounds per day for food, so anywhere from 6 to 12 pounds depending on how many days until the next resupply. I usually start the day with 2 quarts of water, so that’s a bit over 4 pounds.<\/p>\n\n<\/col>\n<\/col>\n<\/col>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
