New to the forum, but not new to hiking. Been hitting the AT for about 13 years as a section hiker (read: do 6 mile days for a week then rent cabin for "decompression", rinse/repeat)

Thought I'd join up to find ways to reduce my load. Im running an Osprey Talon 44 these days, a lighter step from the old standby, the Kelty Red Cloud 5600.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome and I'll be checking out your tips! (Careful how you read that smile
