This puts my base weight (minus food and clothes I'm wearing) around 16.6 pounds.
I'm headed south from Katahdin starting in mid-June, so I've got time to tweak everything. There's a little bit of gear I have yet to purchase, so in those cases I have estimated and put the weight in italics. Please let me know if I've forgotten anything. I am still trying to figure out what kind of pocket knife/scissors to get, by the way.

Thanks everyone!

So apparently I can't math. "Big stuff" should be 142.7, "clothing in pack" should be 56.9, and "cook kit" should be 34.2. That makes my base weight 17.3 lbs, assuming I didn't mess up any more.

Do you think you will need both AM drops and tabs? Just one should do. Plenty of places to get more.

Tent stakes?

Maybe a travel size bottle of gold bond, and some tape and mole skin. You can ditch it later.

May want 2 extra pairs of socks. One just for camp and sleep.

Some people ship themselves their long underwear. I carried mine the whole way ( bottoms, and smartwool long sleeve, down jacket). I didn't have rain paints until it got colder but some carried them the whole way.

[Hatteras Jack]

Someone here had mentioned it might be a good idea to bring AM tabs just in case the bottle breaks or something. Tent stakes are included in the weight of the tent. I'm keeping my long underwear because I like sleeping in it no matter the temp. Maybe that'll change.

I'll probably end up adding the gold bond, tape and moleskin. I did forget to add that I'll have duct tape wrapped around my pencil. Is that an okay sub for moleskin? Thanks Pace.

I would not bring the trowel. Rain pants won't do much good as well as the M. Precip, mine got saturated, check out Golite & Packa May want to add a headnet. Phone charger won't do much in ME as service is real spotty, until south of the whites, bounce it ahead. +1 on the extra socks 2 pair alternate for hiking 1 clean for sleeping - ME is wet & muddy, your feet and sleeping bag will appreciate it. Flip Flops are OK, but I like a little more protection, a stick or rock jammed between foot and flop is painful and it will happen when going to get water - do not try to cross rivers in flip flops, they are not stable and will float away. Just my 2 cents. Have a great hike.

Some people were ok with just duck tape (in just about all hostel hiker boxes) on their blisters. I would recommend a small piece of moleskin. I was pretty lucky that I didn't really get any blisters although I taped a few. I actually carried a bottle of new skin (dropped in Hanover) and super glue ( good to repair shoes poles, gear) for my blisters.

I'm with you on the long johns. I was wearing my down jacket in Maine last summer in the mornings and some nights.

+1 on the cell phone unless you have Verizon. There is a small spot in front of the p.o. in monson you can get a call out after the 100 mile. I'm guessing it doubles as a camera.

Cut all that weight in half IMHO. Especially for a thru.

Where do I start? I don't have a ton of experience but I thought I had done a pretty good job. I'm always up for advice or tips.

[Venchka]

I didn't see sunscreen. SPF 50. Waterproof. A real 5-7 oz. bottle. Not wee little travel size. Resupply often.
I also don't see any mention of a wide brim, SPF 50 sun hat either.
UL thru hike now or surgery later. Your call.
Good luck!

Google ul/ sul gear lists.

I have seen some people with 8 - 10 lb base weights, but I still feel like I'm being trolled.

[SOBO_Pace]

I personally think your gear is right on. You will be able to drop some things in monson and can basically outfit another person will all the stuff left in the 100 mile wilderness. There are also other outfitters to pick up gear if you need it although if I remember correctly the first outfitter you see is in Lincoln, nh.
I did swap out little bit of gear on my sobo. Traded my alcohol stove for a canister stove when the temperatures dropped and wanted to eat more food. I also picked up a extra UQ in harper's ferry and in hot springs added a sleeping pad for the GSMNP. Point is you may make changes to your setup as you go. My weight with food and water was around 35#.
