Ouachita Trail Thru Hike Gear Part 2

This is the equipment and food I am taking on my November 2010 OT thru hike. It should be a 12 day hike. I sent a mail drop to the Story, AR post office for a 6 day resupply. I am hiking east to west, starting at Pinnacle Mtn State Park and finishing in Talimena State Park. This is part 2 of 2. Enjoy!

Awesome videos. I like the detail. Those e-vent dry sacks are the shit. I like the compression version you have for your sleeping bag. Did you make your stove? If so, could you give me some details on how to make one?

how often do you wash your clothes during the trip and how do you try them? Hanging on the pack while moving?

Great videos!

@kc8ppo i only washed my clothes "properly" at the lodge. thru hiking is dirty business! lol

when i needed to dry something i usually put it into the mesh pockets of my pack. i would hang everything up overnight to dry and air out too.

good luck on the hike...was wondering how much you pack weighs?

[Grozmok]

@mtnewport59 my pack weighed about 27 lbs at the trailhead. thats with 3 liters of water and 6 days of food.

Those cliff builder bars give me the worst gas ever, and I know I'm not alone!
