Technology added

I have finally got my iPad portion of my trip taken care of. This update comes directly from the tablet i have lovingly named " hank's leaf." 

This Sunday I will have a test hike for 3 days and 2 nights to just double check the gear I have purchased and planned with. Dad and I will attack  about 30 miles in the great smokey mountains, staying in shelters and testing which camp stove I will be taking with my on the final voyage. Along with the gear and fuel test, I hope for this to be a final check that I am not missing anything that I would otherwise regret leaving behind. With that being said I also would like to cut weight anywhere I can. Don't need that extra sleeping pad? It's staying home.. Too big a canister of penut butter? note to self to buy smaller on the next trip into town.. I think it will be much easier to succeed if I have a fair understanding of my caloric needs before I ever hit the trail. That said, if someone wants to bring me a steak at any point while I am in Tennessee, I would be completely fine with that.. I would also settle for Hardee's.... Crispy creme... 
Those dreams already taste good... 

Happy trails
