Gear on the Pacific Crest Trail
Sunday, March 18, 2018 6:28 pm
Since no thru-hike is complete without a gear list, this is the list of gear I’m taking with me on my Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike. This is largely an evolution of my gear from my Appalachian Trail and Long Trail thru-hikes, though with a few major new pieces. I’ve also written on the details of what gear changed, and why.
