Hello fellow thru-hikers!
My wife and I are a few weeks out from starting our AT thru-hike. I wanted to share a bit of advice with you all before we embark regarding planning your trek. TAKE A SHAKEDOWN TRIP (or as many as you can!)!
We recently went on a shakedown to test our gear/setups and to discover ways we could cut weight. All in all, we cut about 5 pounds off our collective base weight.
