Re: Hiking Trip Report: Enchantment Lakes (Alpine Lakes Wilderness)
Beautiful pictures, thanks for the report.
This might be more relevant to an "Ask-a-thru-hiker" thread, but would you mind briefly going over what is included in your 10lb pack with approximate weight of each item? I have only done day hikes up this point but lately I've been having an itch to do something longer and don't really know where to begin when it comes to gear. Did you have a lot more when you did your thru-hike? How much extra weight does water and food normally add? Long hikes in general are fascinating to me, so I would certainly like to see an "ask me" thread if you get the chance.

 Am I the only person who thought, upon first seeing this photo, that it was a girl watching some dude get mauled by a wild goat?

I'm doing a solo 5 day hike next week. I haven't weighed my pack but there's absolutely no way I'll be even close to 10 pounds.

[/ QUOTE ] Search google for Ultralight Hiking, there will be a lot of info. Getting all your gear down to that weight is expensive and takes knowing what you actually need and use on the trail, so it's probably not for a beginner. I'm not an ultralight hiker.
