Hitting the JMT in a month, and always looking at ways to minimize pack weight. I knew I had been putting on weight, but I just weighed in at 40# over my target weight for JMT, and 30# heavier than I was earlier this year on my AT section. It's like, why the hell am I looking to cut half a pound here and there, when I'm lugging an extra pack-and-a-half around my midsection. That's it....just had to vent.
