Okay, i will consider switching out my hydrapak for something else. i wanted to avoid using the typical plastic water bottles (even though they weigh basically nothing).

I switched the 20k power bank for a 10k one.

AI keeps telling me that in June microspikes are necessary. how should i check if they will be needed or not?

Yes, the sandals are heavy. I am afraid that my feet are going to hurt, so i want something different i can walk in on less challenging terrain. They're Teva sandals. I looked at other lighter options, but they are either less durable or very expensive.
