Springer Mountain to Unicoi Gap Section hike May 2015

I don't really have any opinions on your gear lists, they look pretty good. What I would like to see is some photos of that wasabi Burn!

I'll get some pictures for you tonight. It looks better than pictures I'll tell you. I love it

Chad,

If you want to be taken seriously, perhaps you would reconsider trying to shove a CR123 as a spare battery into your Photon Freedom light?
I have brought this up with you previously on this same forum, but you seem incapable of learning….

Also, some of your weights are off. For example, I have never heard of a version of the Montbell Tachyon windshirt weighing 1.85 oz – unless yours has the hood, the sleeves, and the torso all completely worn off…

Otherwise, the list is just peachy. Just inaccurate.

Ivo,

Montbell website lists the Tachyon Anorak as 1.9oz.

Tachyon Jacket as 1.6oz.

Tachyon got lighter last yr. Large wemt from about 2.4 to 1.9,at least mine did.

You are right on the battery I just have not gotten around to changing it. The wind shirt weight is accurate. I weighed it myself I'll change the battery post haste. Sorry if it bothers you that much

I thought people list weights in their gear lists which they have measured themselves.
What a manufacturer lists is irrelevant, due to sizing differences.

It is great that the newest Tachyon has now been confirmed at less than 2 oz, my apologies for questioning this.

Here are the picture of the Burn I promised. Also bonus because who doesn't like a caldera cone.

Here is a picture showing the weight of my tachyon wind jacket in size large.

Chad,

I will also be starting at Springer that week, although havent decided how far I'm going yet. Hope to see you out there.

That would be awesome to run into you. You can't miss the wasabi burn going down the trail so if you see us definitely introduce yourself.

That's a great looking pack, thanks for posting the pics.

Absolutely. Glad I could help.
