Some thoughts about how and why I prepared that way for hiking the kungsleden. 

## Preface

It's important to know the following circumstances that somewhat informed my gear choices:

### Goals:

1. Get back home safely.
2. Hike the northern Kungsleden.
3. Hike the Kungsleden as far as possible.
4. Have a good time along the way.
5. Get back home on time.
6. Stay budget friendly.
7. Loose a few kgs of weight along the way.

### Experience and other personal factors l:

* I have hiked medium to long distances before.
* That however is almost 10 years ago.
*  I'm not exactly in great physical shape ATM.
* Its my first time hiking a "remote" trail. I am not used to resupply needing actual forethought.

## Gear:
