Getting new gear and can't wait to use i t!

“Well, in the past 24 hours I've ordered a new backpack (Gregory Reality), a new tent (Sierra Designs Hyperlite 3 AST), a fleece hat and some lightweight rainpants, and I'm pretty stoked about using them!

In October, a family friend and I are driving down to northern California to do some hiking in the Trinity Alps wilderness. All together, our party should number 3-6 people. Can't wait!”

“Whoo Hoo! New gear rocks!

I am in the same boat as you. New trail runners and a light weight bag to use on my next trip. I think I can now get my pack weight down to about 13 pounds for an overnighter!”

“Wow, 13 lbs? I think my boots weigh that much, lol!”

“well goody for you”
