Second shorter post. The "gear fears" is an interesting exercise in psychology. As I mentioned in my other post, right around mile 600 I had stopped for the day and was really tired of my heavy pack. I decided to create two piles: 1) things I had used 2) things I hadn't used (or not very much). At the next town I got out my "mail ahead" box and put in everything from pile #2. It allowed me to go to a lighter pack (20-25lbs) and I also switched to trail shoes. Keep up the great progress!
