Gear used for a 2019 Thru-hike of the Pfiffner Traverse. Overall, this gear was not the best for the hike. Had there been worse weather, the tarp size would not have sufficed, the pack was too small to handle even the smallest bear canister comfortably, and the canister itself did not have enough capacity to support the amount of calories required per day. But, it was pretty sick still.
