Sounds like fun!

Is there anyway you can ask your experienced group members how large (liters) and heavy (kg) your load will be for this trip? If not, here are some questions that would help us figure out an effective and economical solution for you:

1. How far will you be walking each day?
2. Will you shelter in huts, hostels, or on your own in the forest? If on your own, what will you use and is it just for you or shared with one or more others?
3. Will you carry all your food for the trip or will you purchase food along the way?
4. How much cooking equipment/fuel will you carry/share (group cooking, individual, or...?)
5. What kind of weather do you expect to encounter in May (keeping in mind what a wierd winter it has been for Europe especially)?

Can you rent a pack?
