LASTLY get a digital luggage/fish scale $20 Walmart and weigh everything
except food, water, fuel and your body that will be on the trail with you on the first
day. If it is under 40 pounds (18143.7grams) then you did good.

You will add:

WATER 4 POUNDS
FOOD 8 POUNDS

Shakedown your system after 20 miles, 40 miles, 100 miles and each Hiker Box drop off
unneeded things.
As you lose fat weight and build muscle and your cardio improves, your miles will
extend to 20, 30 or the rare 40 per day.
Youll be burning over 5,000 calories a day, but compensating in town on ZERO DAYS
and carrying more food.
Water carried will depend on availability along the trail, but should max out at 7 liters
(15.43 pounds) between Cajon Pass and Wrightwood or Guffy Spring.
Water is heavy and sloshes around, so pack it close to your hips, low and forward in the
pack.
