How many hours will he hike? ** He is going to hike 8*=40 hours
How many miles will he hike? ** That means he will be hiking for 40*2.5=<<40*2.5=100>>100 miles
How many pounds of supplies does he need? ** So he needs 100*.5=<<100*.5=50>>50 pounds of supplies
How many pounds of supplies can he get with the resupply? ** With the resupply he can get up to 1+.25=<<1+.25=1.25>>1.25 times his initial pack
How many pounds does his initial pack have to weigh? ** That means his initial pack has to weigh 50/1.25=<<50/1.25=40>>40 pounds
