Most hikers get lighter from hike to hike. Well, looks like i'm not like most other hikers. My baseweight actually increased, even though i dropped some clothes. On the Te Araroa i'll be carrying a drone for the very first time. The drone itself and a spare battery alone make up some 800g of my total gear. Thats quite a lot, but i'd like to play around with that drone and get some on trail experience. If it gets to heavy, i might drop it in the course of the trail. Besides that, i only replaced a few items compared to my PCT gear.
