@DasKrabbe good job math wiz... now put down your pencil, and try it. when (if) you do you'll realize EXACTLY why thru-hikers will cut handles off tooth brushes, and pull straps off their backpacks. sure 1 ounce is only 1/16th a pound, but when you can cut an ounce off everything you carry, you can shed pounds from your pack. pounds you dont have to carry over 2000 miles. if you're ok with carrying extra pounds thats cool too... HYOH, but if i want to shave lbs, whats your problem with it?

@MrForrest1991 you learn as you go... and if you dont know what you need, or more importantly what you DONT need before you hit the trail, about 30 miles north (at Mountain Crossings, Neels Gap) theres a great place to get rid of all the crap you THOUGHT you would need that you can't bear to carry a foot further... or re-equip with lighter, thru-hiker oriented gear. after 1-200 miles you'll realize how very little you actually need from day to day.

@DarthVorace if it's something you're really considering doing set a realistic date, and dedicate yourself to it. tell others about it. work hard to meet your goal. otherwise it will always be "someday"

Funny that many viewers aren't oriented with trail life and don't understand much of this. For example they see a short thin sleeping pad and they think that a longer thicker one would "only weigh a few ounces more" so "why not be comfortable" etc. I love these vids.Ounces turn into pounds and pounds make for a miserable hike
