More thoughts as i hike through the Hollywood Hills. www.youtube.com/sharig74 www.facebook.com/sharing.w.shari
A brief video of a section of my 2011 Appalachian Trail thru hike. This video focuses on whats in my pack through SHenandoah National Park, where I managed to keep it under 15 pounds throughout the hike. Check out my seldom updated blog @ www.thingsgoingsmoothly.com

Wow that is what you call ultra light weight!
Glad you liked the video. The poles were Leki’s that I won at Trail Days. They worked great in the mud and definitely took some strain off of my back and legs but I don’t think I’ll be using them on future hikes.
I’m planning an ultralight pack with a base weight of 5 pounds for my Long Trail thruhike later this year. I hope to have some better videos up about that.
Thanks for the video. Gives me some great ideas just for day hiking. I tend to overpack so this really helps. What kind of poles were those?
I actually switched out in Mass after I was down for a few days with Lyme Disease. Besides a slightly bigger pack, from 32 to 44 liter, I only added a sleeping bag. Pack was switched mostly because of the bulk of the bag, didn’t really add much weight. Still in mid 20 pound range rest of the trip and always below 30 pounds even after a decent food resupply.
is that the pack you finished with?
