Well done, Sam. I like that you can articulate specific reasons for your gear choices. I appreciate someone with an analytical mind who has the experience and confidence to make the best gear choices for their backpacking style rather than focus exclusively on gear used by YT influencers. My wife and I look forward to following your journey.
