Fuck that people used to walk that trail with nothing more then a blanket ,tarp and a sack of old bread, with just the close on their back.
You got plenty of gear! Did you drill holes in your tooth brush joke!

I like my gear selection. It will keep hiking and camping enjoyable, usually you wind up sacrificing one or the other and I think I found myself a happy medium. I'm no weight nazi all of my clothes still have their tags!
Anything under 40lbs is a cake walk, I couldn't imagine going super ultra-light with a hammock and beer can stove. That's something I'll definitly try but when your going out this long I want my luxories.
I walked 8 miles with my pack yesterday and my legs didn't tire at all and I feel no discomfort today. I'm so glad I started getting in shape before hand, my hiking partner woke up groaning about soar legs, I had 60 lbs in on my back and we hiked all 8 miles in 2.25 hours.

Yeah 40 pounds is just fine!
The range between 40 and 60 seems to be the average in all my experiences! Do you have a line for a bear hang? I recomend hanging your food!

I have no clue man, we are starting off slow(8-12miledays) and going to work our pace up to 25-30 miles a day. I have no way to know that far in advance, if I were to guess now I'd go with mid-late June.

I can do that, I have your phone number on my laminated phone number card 
I'm going to be taking a vacation from the trail in Philly with my brother for a weekend when I get to PA sometime so I'll have plenty of internet and phone access.
