Hi Everyone,
Well, I'm doing it. Finally!!! I just turned 59. I've only been wanting to do this since 1977. I am leaving home on March 19, going solo. I still have stuff to get. I have been second guessing my purchases so far. I have a pack, tent, shoes. My next purchase is a sleeping bag (this week). I have a very supportive family. So, any tips, advice or tricks?
Physically, I'm healthy, no issues at all, last check was nearly perfect! Not even meds. I walk 6-8 miles, and average 800 steps on the stair master, 5 days a week. I have lots of tekgear clothes. My first question is, Will those work for a base layer?
My second question is my pack, it's a Gregory 60L Diva. I'm thinking it's too big, but what do I know?
I think I found an awesome deal on a Big Agnus Fly Creek UV 2 man for $233. Check REI, they are closeouts, I got the last one....
Thanks for reading this, it's great I found this place....
