My newest addition.  ACR PLB satellite and GPS rescue beacon.  Don’t think I’ll be far enough away from civilization on the A.T. to need this but it makes the family worry a whole lot less…

I just ordered a new quilt.  The old one (Warbonnet Mamba 20 degree) weighed in at 1 lb 7 oz.  The new one (Enlightened Equipment Engima 40 degree) weighs in at 14 oz.  Saved more than 1/2 lb!

Here’s what I have laid out to start. 



I’m going to try to blog during my hike and this is where I think it will work out well.  Here is my home for 3 months this summer….
