Posting on this sub cause I know y'all will be honest with me lol.

I flip-flopped the AT in 2022, my base weight was like 22 pounds then--yikes. Planning a PCT thru in 2025 and I am committed to a MUCH lighter base weight! Right now it's at 16.75 lb but I'd like to get it down to sub 15 at least.

Some things I think I could cut down for weight and my concerns: Pack--but I'm concerned that a lighter pack will be uncomfortable?

Clothes--I'm nervous about getting cold but think there must be a more lightweight solution

Electronics--I want to make sure I'll be able to charge quickly in towns but I don't think my current setup is optimizing weight with charging speed

I'm sure there's more that I haven't thought of!!

My non-negotiables are my cook system and bear canister.

I appreciate any suggestions!!
