Trail: AT Sobo 2025, June 15 Start

Thruhike Experience: CDT sobo 2023; PCT Sobo 2019; SHR 2021

Comments: This is essentially my CDT kit, although I only carried the umbrella at the beginning and end of my hike. I get cold at night. I’ve tried regular width pad neoair and uberlight, but I simply sleep better on my side with a wide pad. Need sleep clothes to stay warm. Tried a Alsek 22 quilt on PCT but was too cold. Swapped it out for the wide Sawatch 15 and was better. Can I ditch the Garmin for the AT and use my phone? Is an umbrella recommended for AT? Fortunately moolah is not an issue, I’ll spend coin to get weight down within reason. I’d like to be at a 10-11 lb baseweight. Can we do it?

So shake me down but keep me warm! And I don’t wanna eat cold food.

One other unrelated question: Will I be vastly disappointed with the AT after the CDT and PCT?
