Gear list

This is what I’ll be heading out with for the first week of hiking the pacific crest trail. I will be starting on June 26th at the northern terminus, the Washington/Canada border, and heading Southbound towards the southern terminus, the California/Mexico border. Food, toiletries, fuel, first aid, batteries, etc. will all be resupplied at stores and post offices in town along the way. Water will be replenished and filtered at water sources along the trail. The rest of the gear should remain with me for the duration of the 2,650 miles. Except for shoes. Shoes will need to be replaced at least once a month or every 5 or 6 hundred miles, whichever comes first. If all goes well I should be finished hiking the trail by mid November.
