So when are you headed out on the trail? And what kind of portable music player do you have? I've been promising to send you shit for so long, lemme get off my as and do it, If you use an MP3 player I'll send you data discs but if you use a CD player I'll send you a bunch of CD's for your journey.

I have a ticket to Atlanta next Saturday and we are hoping to start on Sunday. We'll probably go out in any weather as long as it's not dangerous.
I'm not brining any form of music player. I might pick up one on the way, I don't own anything other than a CD player and I don't want to carry anything that heavy. It just complicates things and it adds weight and I'm already pushing 40lbs. If boredom sets in and I think it's needed I'll probably buy a mp3 player thru my mother and have her fill it up off my computer for me.
Don't worry about sending anything, you post enough good music for me here.

You can always buy a cheap brand X type CD player, like COBY brand or something.

I've never hiked with music before.
I'll probably buy one along the way if I need it, I'll be hitting towns weekly. I have a portable sony cd player but it doesn't even play mp3's so there's no way I'm carrying that. I couldn't imagine carrying my cd case around the mountains with me....

Get yourself an MP3 player with a big enough hard drive to store ALL your shit. You'll be happy to be able to choose from your ENTIRE MUSIC LIBRARY, from something that fits in your pocket and barely weighs anything.

That's exactly what I would do if/when I decide I need one.
I've been putting off buying one for so long it's pathetic, you are starting to convince me but it snowed a foot last night so I ain't going shopping.

Well if you wanna go the Apple route you grab yourself a big ass iPod. But frankly, I hate the color fancy video ones, I love my black and whie 20 GB iPod but I wouldnt wantof these newer ones..I dunno.
I've heard good things about the iRiver...any other PC users wanna chime in about their MP3 players?
Seriously you an get one with an 80 GB hard drive init, not too expensive either.

I don't really want an ipod.
I'm not sure I want to rack up my credit card bill yet either, I'm sure it's going to get plenty of use in the coming months.
I'm looking but I haven't seen anything that made me want to make a purchase.

Ounces, hahahahahha.
The pack weighs 6 lbs 13 oz empty.
Full of fuel, water and food it weighs around 37 lbs.
I highly doubt I'll carry a full load of water and fuel but a few times during the entire trail. It'll probably weigh 30-33 lbs most of the time.
Yeah I have a journal.

I have a 40gb Philips HDD. Its a bit old, 2+ years? But works great. And really, nobody NEEDS 40gb of music. I dont even have the thing filled up, and I have a bunch of powerpoints stored on there too...
I bet you can pick one up cheap on EBay. 100 bucks I bet. Nice piece of equipment, and looks WAY cooler than an Ipod too.

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.

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.
