3 days of backpacking, stealth camping and hiking in the White Mountains. GPS trip data available at http://www.sintax77.com For this late Summer hammock camping trip (August), I'll be going for the full range of White Mountains backpacking and hiking experiences. From the seclusion of rugged wilderness areas, to the tourist laded summit of Mount Washington. Encompassing both the western and eastern sides of Rt 16, the goal is to complete a 3 day loop comprised of the Presidential Range, Tuckerman Ravine, Wildcat Range, and the Carter-Moriah Range before returning to the car. If you're interested in the gear, check out my full Gear List Video here: http://youtu.be/Sv56DnpxD2I The 11lb base weight system seen in that video is identical to my system for this trip with the exception of the following changes which increased the base weight by about 2.5 lbs: Fleece Sleeping bag (21oz) replaced with Suisse Sport 30 degree mummy bag. (3lbs) Mont-bell Ultralight Down Parka (9oz) was brought for additional warmth. I carried around 7lbs food and water (usually only 1 liter), so total pack weight was still around 20 lbs or so.
