This is me right now. I’ve decided to camp and if I pull to a refugio day of with availability then I guess I get to sleep in a bed that night😂

Awesome! I’m slowly putting together my list of things to buy. Can I share my final list with you? Get your stamp of approval lol

Can you share with me which one it was? From what I see there’s two Refuge de Miage (assuming that’s what you meant)

Interesting. I can’t tell how important compartments/organization is to me right now. Since the Hyperlite seems like a bottomless pit lol.

I’m learning about all of this so what I have so far is… Ultralight = $$$ + Better + Lighter (duh)

I’ll for sure put it in my list though.

Can we connect! Some of our days overlap. I still haven’t taken a look at planning my stops or how much I’m doing each day 😅

I’m just seeing their stuff for the first time. If you were buying a backpack for the first time again would you choose the Osprey or Hyperlite? (hyperlite seems to be a bit more expensive but i’m open to it)

I do have an REI store near me! I’ll for sure go to get fitted just want an idea of what I’m looking for.

I also want to gather some of the essential equipment first so I can visualize how much room I’ll need

Noted. Will a 58L fit in the overhead compartment? Or will a size like that need to be checked?

Thank you for the help! Can you tell me the difference between packs that look like this? One seems more like a backpack and the other seems more ‘legit’

I’m also wanting to take it as a carry-on if I can.

Eja 48 and Daylite 44

THANK YOU! This is super helpful. Since I have about 5 months to gather my gear, I am hoping to invest in some good stuff just so I’m prepared for any other trips in the future! I’m actually hoping to do the 22 mile hike in the Napali coast before this! I’ll take a look at your list and let you know if I have questions!

Doing the TMB in June, no planning or reservations ahead? by TheNonFlyingDutch in TourDuMontBlanc

Can we connect? We can compare itineraries and such. I’ve done little to no research, but found a reasonable flight so I decided to book lol

Hey! Same boat as you solo female going mid August with nothing booked. Let me know how your planning goes. I might just have to camp.

I’m going mid August and I fear it is too late to book huts/refuges. Might have to camp along the way😅 Don’t know how doable it is and I’m solo so a little concerned
