A list of what I was carrying by the end of my southbound Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike.
Several things changed over the course of my hike.
Only carried for a portion of the trail:
- Only carried the bear canister in the Sierra; carried the Ursack Minor outside of that.
- Stopped carrying my kitchen set-up in Northern California, so I'm including that as reference below, although I was not carrying it anymore by the end. (I didn't cold-soak after that, I just ate a lot of dry food.)
- Stopped carrying the Gossamer Gear Chrome Umbrella at Hart's Pass due to there being no heavy rain or sun (just a loooot of mist and fog).
- Stopped carrying microspikes at Stehekin due to there being no snow.
- Carried a bug head net and bug mesh pants at various points during the hike due to mosquitoes and gnats.
- Carried an old pair of flip-flops as camp shoes from Snoqualmie Pass, WA to the Sierra.
Ended up swapping out at some point:
- Swapped out the Nemo Switchback sleeping pad (14.5oz) for the Thermarest XTherm in the Sierra. Best decision ever, especially when it started getting cold.
- Swapped out a Frogg Toggs Ultra Lite 2 raincoat (5.5 oz) for an old Eddie Bauer one I already owned. The FT coat is excellent for the price, super waterproof, and I highly recommend it, but just FYI: it melts in the dryer.
- Swapped out a pair of cheap shorts from Goodwill for a pair of Helly Hansen Rask Trail Tights in the Sierra due to cold weather.
Introduced later in the hike:
- Introduced the Western Mountaineering Flash booties and a pair of puffy pants I got on Amazon (off-brand) in the Sierra due to cold weather.
