Gear Loadout - Ozark Trail

I have a new backpack, new shoes and lots of other new gear as I prepare for a 4.5 day 65 mile hike on the Ozark Trail. This mid March (2021) trip has sub freezing lows and lots of rain in the forecast. See what I have packed in preparation for the trip. My base weight was 18 lbs. and my total pack weight was 28 lbs.
