JMT
In 2015 our family hiked the John Muir Trail. For 21 days we carried everything we needed. The list details my gear share & helped me reduce weight. As family "mule" I carried tent, stove, pots & bear can. It shows "base weight", i.e. the weight of everything on my back w/o water, food or waste.
