  1. Hard to argue with an 8.2 lbs gear list, nice job, but check out the 1 liter Aqua Fina bottles. With mouth, a bit taller but with less girth allows other items such as tent poles in the same pocket more securely

  2. I like the look of your jeppack! Interested to hear how it holds up on the cdt. Btw, just read your most recent post and was horrified to read that people tracked you down to visit you on the trail. Even if they mean well that is just freaky beyond belief! Best of luck to you on the CDT, cannot wait to read all about it! Go Carrot!
