10 Pound Backpack to Hike 100 Miles
www.adventurealan.com
That's the total weight of everything in my backpack—gear, food, water, and stove fuel to hike 102 miles of the Appalachian Trail through Shenandoah National Park in 3 days. No fair weather hiking: with rain, sleet, light snow and hard freezes at night. I think I am very close to dialing in a Light Pack that is also supremely efficient at covering long trail miles.

10lbs refers to Alan’s total pack weight (TPW), which is base weight + consumables – gear, food, water, and stove fuel.

    Alan takes us through his thinking regarding planning, including weather considerations, a shakedown trip, training, simplifying his gear and making sure he’d enjoy himself(!) He also chooses to do it in late winter conditions and he rocks a hammock.
