so it's a new year. it really hit me today how quickly march is going to come! there are so many things i need to take care of. lots of gear to purchase.
i do have some things already in my possession. as i posted earlier i once tried a 30mi weekend hike and discovered lots of helpful things in my various failures. i had used the platypus gravity works filter, which proved to be the best thing ever invented. i tried to use a 50 liter pack, however, and this proved to be not so good. it pinched and killed my upper back and shoulder blades quite a bit. as already posted, i also was really reckless with my knees and therefore will most definitely be using trekking poles this time. i have also been toying with the idea of wearing knee braces at least for the first two weeks.
i have all the clothes i will need, but i am seriously considering using a hammock for camping this time around. we shall see what i decide.
these are the logistics that i sometimes forget to think about, so i have been doing lots of research on gear, food suggestions, things suggested to both take and leave behind. as i go along i will start to post links to all those websites that i found to be the most helpful. cheers.
