This is all of my gear as I make my spreadsheet and inventory list for the PCT hike next year.  I am ready,  I have done all of my research.  This is the best equipment I have found out there for my needs.  Remember to "Hike your own Hike"  having said that.  This is what works for me.  I am so glad you are with me on this journey and learning as I learn.  This is all from about 4 months of solid research, everyday immersing myself in books and lectures and classes and studying.  I am here to share it with you.  This is a slow process of trying all different kinds of products, lightweight products.  My base weight keeps on getting lower.  I am a Happy Camper Girl!
