11 miles? is that a day hike? are you staying overnight?
1. your military boots are too heavy and won't dry fast if they get wet. you'll need shoes and pants that dry fast.
2. 2 pair of socks, hang the wet ones on your pack to dry while walking.
3. 1 liter of water weighs 2.2 pounds. will there be water sources along the trail? if so, just take a one or two liter bottle, and refill along the trail using either a sawyer squeeze or aqua mira drops to purify it.
4. take as little stuff as possible. you won't even need a huge backpack. if you're staying overnight, you'll need a tarp or tent, but make it a light weight one. If there's no snow and none expected, you can sleep under the stars.
