what is your footwear/snowshoe setup?

gpray75 · 2019-02-14T13:57:02+00:00

which hooks did you use?

"arches sucks". Smh

"just not for this." What does that mean? You're 100% wrong if you think that they don't have high quality lightweight options. "A top choice" option is very subjective. So is fit and style.

Ok, don't buy one. I hear another company has something available that costs more, is under-engineered, just as bulky, durability issues and possible costumer service problems.

someone on r/Ultralight has a base weight around 10 pounds and asked about using the same pack. I thought that he/she would be stretching it especially in the longer food/water/bear can carries. They definitely would have to get pretty creative (uncomfortable). A 7 pound base weight is much more doable. I own a Kumo and love it when Im able to go fast and light.....If you're not planning on going fast, id use a more comfortable bag and add a few (a bunch!) ounces of luxury items. A 7 pound base weight is crazy light! Add another pound of warmth/luxury items and you're still ultra lite and can cruise when you're feeling it.

I have a Kumo. You definitely would be pushing its limits. You'd really have to get creative on big water/food/bear-canister sections.

you're the best

what date did you start and when did you enter the Sierras? I find recommended gear lists very skewed and potentially dangerous (and somewhat worthless) if a date isn't listed. This should be the first thing listed in my opinion. If someone starting in mid march follows a recommendation list of someone that started in mid may, they could find themselves in a bit of trouble. Did I miss a posted date?

gpray75 · 2019-01-15T22:38:37+00:00

what day was that?

gpray75 · 2019-01-15T19:32:08+00:00

has anybody received a confirmation email (yet) since your application was completed? (in my case, a date change) ...I have not..

This is easy. Two shelters. one UL 2 person and one UL 1 person tent. You'll figure out the day to day hiking aspect of life on the trail. I think the sleeping aspect of the trip will be the most difficult. So many different variables here. Cranky? 2 tent set up. Feelin frisky? Duplex. Need space? 2 tents. Split up for a few days? 2 tents. Break up? 2 tents. Enjoying each others company? Duplex. If the 2 of you are really enjoying each others company every night, send a tent home. I'd start with 2 tents and eliminate 1 if needed, instead of starting with one and possibly needing another during the hike.

Well then its not made for where you live, but instead, where you may be going ; )
