A fanatical approach to gear selection based on safety, reliability, and resistance to mild discomforts—with a scrupulous eye towards weight—no stone was left unturned. This JMT loadout is a manifestation of continuous refinement through relentless research, controlled trials, and exhaustive field tests.

  • Crafted & Curated for Ultralight Pursuits with a 5lb base weight objective
  • Geared for duo extended adventures in the Western US (more specifically the JMT w/ 25°F max lows with little to no bug pressure expected on the lower half of the trail)
  • Tangible benefits supersede minimal sacrifices
  • Knowledge and experience counterbalance perceived limitations
  • Shareable items eliminates redundancy
  • Carrying efficiencies help minimize fatigue and increase beer hauling capability
