My first proper through hike, so excuse the luxuries and heavier options. My pack, tent and accessories could all do some work in reducing the overall load (Wilderness Threadworks pack, TRG Synquilt 3 and Gatewood Cape/Serenity Net Tent are considered upgrades). Need to consider food options, bars are a convenience but not calorie dense enough to be UL. Cold soaking versus using the jetboil is a consideration that needs to be taken into account for future through hikes.

Decided on taking board shorts and a towel to enjoy the lovely weather in the Indian ocean on some of the secluded beaches and a towel to dry off after + at camp site with ablution block. Could get away with using buff as a towel but this luxury for 125g is justified in my opinion.
