Hi, i set a goal at the beginning of the month to get fully prepared to hike the Florida Trail this winter. I plan on starting at the Oasis Ranger Station in the Everglades, and make my way up from there. Been grabbing all the material and books I can on hiking, and visiting shops and speaking with sales associates there.

I just ordered the Warbonnet Blackbird XLC 1.7 Single Layer Hammock and paired with their Edge tarp, so that should come out a little over 2 pounds. Have a Jetblast Flash stove, with a long titanium spork so I'm covered there as well. Ordered the Sawyer Mini filter for water purification and will pair that with some Platapus pouches and/or a 3L water pouch with hose depending on my pack.

The last thing I am narrowing down, is my backpack....
