Most of my hiking experience is in the Pacific Northwest, but I've also thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (2007) and the Continental Divide Trail (2011).
I would call myself a lightweight packer, but not ultralight. My packs for the PCT and CDT were around 15lbs without food, water or fuel. Weekend trips I often have a total pack weight less than 20lbs (skin out).

Starting cross-country skiing off trails Yikes, considering my whole rest of my winter camping gear is around 16lbs, that seems hilariously heavy :) Nonetheless, I appreciate the detailed advice! |

How to treat shin splints while backpacking I asked a similar question to this by the way - more about prevention than controlling symptoms - outdoors.stackexchange.com/questions/596/… |

Which will keep my food colder longer, draining the melted ice water, or leaving it in the cooler? Great work! Very interesting to see the temperature logger data |

How to stay clean on a multi-day hike? I love the question, but I can't help - I revel in the freedom of being filthy while I hike... of course, I hike alone most of the time, so there's no one to annoy with my stank :) |

Which careers allow working in the wild on a daily basis? Nice stuff! I have a friend who is a geologist and spends most of his time out in the field collecting samples... that would fit too! |
