GazelleKit - My AT 2023 NOBO / Resumed NOGO 2020 Hike Gear Kit

Assumptions

  • Early March Start
  • Avg temp at start is chilly. This list accounts for colder temps at the beginning and I will shed cold weather gear as the temps increase.
  • Worn clothes account for a chilly day of hiking

Total Cost

This gear list was built over the course of 6 years and combines several other treks' worth of gear mix-and-match. Assume the total cost here is if someone started from absolute zero and wanted to purchase everything. It also accounts for some items that someone would likely already have (for example, their phone).

Extra Equipment

The Camera Equipment section lists a few items I'm bringing to document my thru-hike. If you're not interested in doing that, you can easily drop about 18 oz by removing the tripod, the mic, and one extra battery.

I list my phone as Camera Equipment because I bought a phone with a high-quality camera specifically to document my thru-hike.
