Well this is it! I'm off Sunday! Thank you for all the help, I'll be sure to stop at olsen's , hopefully I'll see you on the trail slosteppin, I'll have a ula backpack, and blue trekking poles, say...

Malta that helps tons! I'm thinking I'll be doing neros as well in order to spend more time on the trail and spend less money in the towns, I'll have to prepare for 30 mile days then, I have slightly...

Colorado rob, I use the bivy for the tarps, it keeps the bugs away while I sleep, I could save some weight with a flat tarp and I plan on it, the duomid is my winter tarp but it's all I've got right...

I like that two gears!

I live near the Kalamazoo area. The NCT is probably the best bet in terms of hikes that are close. If you are only looking for a single overnight hike, doing part of the NCT that runs through Yankee...

Thanks, It really is a battle, I want to make it below 10 lbs, but at the same time I can't justify the cost for the comfort, I stopped noticing weight at below 15 pounds, even for days on end. I...

This is an awesome idea, will have to bring it to the boys in my troop! You should add pictures to make it a little more clear, but great guide!

I'm new here, and an aspiring lighter weight backpacker. My base weight is around 11 pounds, so I'm not a load hauler by any means, I'm just curios why we have categories for ultralight, lightweight,...

I just bought lots of second hand gear or made it myself!

My base pack weight is around 11lbs, I'm young and don't have tons of money for real ultralight gear but, just looking to make my feet more comfortable!

I ended up getting a pair of Salomon x ultras, I don't think they're technically trail runners, as they have a bit of a sole, but they're mesh so they should dry quickly, have a decent tread on them,...

Is it still passable?

As far as camping in Manistee you don't need a permit right? I called them and they told me as long as you aren't parking the area is free to use. And as far as all the state lands go, you just need...

I would suggest you look at ULA packs, I know that they're a bit more expensive, but it's totally worth the money for it. I have the Ohm 2.0, I can carry a full winter load, with the extension...

MLD Duomid, it's a palace for one, super fast setup, reliable in any weather, pretty light at around 22 oz and very flexible for a multitude of conditions.

I'm looking for a pair of trail runners, for this summer, I have traditionally used hiking boots, but am trying to lighten up, so I can hike faster, so maybe I have a chance of hiking the AT next...

So I went ahead and got the Ohm 2.0, thanks for all of the help guys!

Has anyone tried out SMD Flight series packs yet? I might be interested in their flight 44, but there is little information on how they ride and carry a load. It is Brian Frankle at SMD now, I'm...

I'm curious, I need a new pack for my section hike this summer in June, have you had a ula pack before? These appear to be the ones I'm comparing to.

I'm curious about the elemental horizons packs, has anyone used those?

This really just confirms what I thought about the ohm! Brancher, do the water bottle pockets seem deep enough? I have a 2L Platypus bottle, I'm thinking that they might be too short

My Monday load should be around 22 pounds total, I've been leaning towards the ohm 2.0, everyone seems to love it, don't know if I want to go cuben or not.

So I have my base weight to just below 10 lbs, to celebrate I'd like to get a new UL or lightweight pack, I figure I'll need to carry a weeks worth of food at a time max for my upper limit, I've...

Is this still for sale?
