My ultimate wishlist SUL equipment for the AT. [OWNED = Green star] WORN WEIGHT = added items for colder temperatures... see note below. Personal and consumable items have been stripped from the list to highlight the core of this Dream Equipment List. Songbird Ultralight on Youtube - minimalist hiker with a new channel hiking 600ish miles this summer to complete the remainder of the Appalachian Trail starting on May 16th, 2018. SongbirdUltralight@gmail.com (See the blog post about this equipment list here](http://www.littlelifehappy.com/2018/05/songbirds-2018-ultimate-lightweight.html)
WORN WEIGHT = ITEMS ADDED FOR COLDER WEATHER/ 3 season use - Sleep system would be Wearable Quilt + Puffy Jacket and Puffy Pants & Buff.
3 season capable SUL base weight = 3.74 lbs Summer XUL warm weather (above 45 degree Fahrenheit lows) base weight = 2.89 lbs (Very similar to my current summer kit, just with lighter versions of everything.)
Check out my current SUL summer pack for this summer on the AT (Starting May 16th, 2018 - list subject to change) in comparison.
