Our base weight is still a work in progress… but I think we’re doing really good! We’re still brainstorming other ways (besides cutting our toothbrushes in half) we can cut down some more weight, but for now, this is where we’re at!
Below is our current calculated base weights (excluding water, food, trekking poles and the clothes we’ll be wearing) for the Pacific Crest Trail.
