So after a few trips inching back up to a heavier load, I've tweaked a new list for a very light hike in late July. I'll be doing the first half of the JMT Nobound between Piute Pass and Tuolomne.
I will camp below 9,000 feet ever night, so avoiding above treeline conditions / cold weather. (So not taking spare socks or gloves). Also, I can avoid using a bear cannister here if I go straight from Red's Meadow to Tuolomne, or detour and camp at Alger lakes. So that saves some weight.
Anyway, here is the list. Feedback would be appreciated. Trying to get it down to 5 lbs, but the iPhone seems to be the rub. (I have GPS and Topo on it and plan on twittering.)
