Pretty much final setup for SOBO thru 2025. Starting sometime in June. Plan is to hike all day long, only stopping to eat/ fill up on water. Not spending too much time in camp, only arriving to sleep and leaving as soon as I wake up. This style is what I found I really enjoyed toward the end of the PCT. Gear is dialed to that style, won't be super warm in camp outside of quilt.
