Good Water Loop Ultralight Gear List

Here is my Good Water Loop Gear List. It is everything that I brought with me on the Good Water Loop. Check out my Lighterpack list if you would like to see the weight of each item. My base weight is right around 8.64 lbs on this trip.

I tend to hammock camp but many people reported an overall lack of quality hand spots when they were on trail and since there was limited info I went with a ground kit for sanity.

To finish of February with a bang I went on a 27 mile loop trail in Texas near Austin. It was the perfect get away with open sun, cool night, and time away from civilization.
