This list was based on gear needed for a late start (May) NoBo PCT thru hike lasting under 90 days. I would use this setup as well for a late SoBo (Mid-July) CDT Hike lasting under 90 days and for 2+ season hiking thru the American West (CT, AZT, PNT, TRT, etc.) where overnight temperatures are typically above freezing and lows above 25F. There is some additional gear that I might include for the Desert, Sierra, or Colorado portions of a PCT or CDT Thru as conditions dictate listed below as well.
