After months of research, trial and error, and anally weighing things, we finally have our Pacific Crest Trail gear list! And with only 31 days left before we begin, it’s a good thing!
We’re laying it all out down below with the weight, and we’ll be letting you guys know how it works out as we push it to the limits over 2,650 miles.
We’d like to send out a special thanks to our incredible partners: Platypus Hydration, MSR, Therm-a-Rest, SeaLine (thanks Cascade Designs!), Arc’terxy, Salomon, Watson’s Body Wear, and Boreas. Without your support, we couldn’t do it!
