9 pound base weight!!

A hiker named Lint arrived in Etna last night. He is a double-triple crowner... Meaning he has hiked the pct, cdt, and at twice each. These are all of the major long trails in the United States. 

His website is @ linthikes.com

This morning he gave my pack a shakedown to help eliminate unnecessary gear. 

He helped me get rid of my long underwear bottoms, down jacket, extra bandana, gloves, balaclava, and a few other redundant items of gear. This package that was mailed home today weighed in at 1lb and 13 ounces. That brings my packs baseweight down to just around 9 pounds and completes my goal of getting under 10 pounds before I reach Oregon. I am truly an Ultra light hiker now!  

Stoke level is very high. Oregon is coming in less than 5 days.
