If you do this every year I don't see why it should be a problem this year.
I'm interested, I've done similar trips, but carried about twice as much weight. I did what I could to alleviate as much weight as possible, but I found I end up "helping" others with some of their things, and before I know it I'm carrying a few pounds under half my weight (I know, stupid stupid stupid).
I'm wondering, how many people do you go with? How many days is the trip? What food do you pack (details, from snacks/trail mix, to meals)? What type of packs do you have, sleeping bags, cooking kits, and what not? What all clothes do you pack, I think this is my downful, in attempting to "be prepared" I feel I pack way way too much clothes wise, and end up taking a bunch of clothing I end up not wearing, but I also don't want to get stuck in a situation where I don't have proper clothing and what not.
Thanks for any info.
I'd say in preparation, do some good long hikes on your free days, take a lunch with you, and just go and go and go. Do at least the mileage you'd plan to cover in a single day on your backpacking trip. Enjoy, and take some pictures.
