Are you going this year or not?

Are you going this year or not?

I can't go till next year. I'm okay with that. I figured out a way to make it work and I'll have extra money.

I was in a car accident recently. It was the other drivers fault.
I sustained moderate injury. My pain and suffering is earmarked for the trail and expenses while I'm gone.

Will the 45 liter pack hold everything?
I’m seeing several people on thru hikes with slightly larger ULA and Osprey packs.
If you can make a 45 liter pack work good for you!

Oops. I have fully recovered just haven't finished negoitating my pain and suffering claim. Thank you Wayne.

I hope I can fit it all.
I have a 2 liter waist pack I plan to use as well for purse snacks and such.

I thought about a bigger 4.5 liter pouch but I don't think it will fit with my pack.

Also I don't want it too heavy.

I way over packed on my last weekend trip and carried bulky stuff and it all fit so I think i t will be fine.

Chumlee strikes again.

See any nice wedding rings?

Everyone has different stuff.
The Metalbackpacker, seekinglost.com, Trail name Famous, completed his first thru hike on the CDT in 2018 using an Osprey Exos 58 liter pack. His route included a 450 mile personal alternative route across northwest Wyoming.
One solution doesn’t fit everyone.
Cheers y’all!
