Pre-Hike Gear List

Base Weight is 15.5 lb

For those that like to look at gear lists and wonder what someone uses for a thru-hike I've included a list of my expected gear that I'm going to use on the PCT.  This gear typically changes and hikers adjust certain items along the way.  There are many seasoned thru hikers that will even do a "pack shake down" for you to try to lighten your pack even more.  I'm pretty happy with where my base weight stands.  How to calculate base weight: Everything in your pack minus "consumables" ie: food, water and camp fuel.  You can factor another 7-15 lbs for consumables depending on the stretch of trail you're on.

Anyone have any questions about a specific piece of gear or why I chose it, let me know.
