Hi all, getting ready for a solo PCT through hike. This is my first foray into UL so with REI/black friday sales currently going on I figured it was time to get feedback.
Some notes:
- Most weights are manufacturer estimates, I will be weighing and updating as I receive the items.
- I've gotten a couple items already, those are marked as -owned. I'm not opposed to replacing them with a compelling argument though.
- Shorts? Tights? Pants? Wind pants? Rain pants? Waffling a bit on what to do here. I've currently put down a pair of trail pants I own and like.
- The Patagonia torrentshell seems on the heavier side so I've been considering just using it for the Sierras and Washington and a cheap poncho for the rest of the trail. I suspect I'd need to pair a wind shirt with the poncho though.
- I have family in California so it's easier for me to send equipment to and from the trail for different parts of the hike.
Let me know if I'm missing anything obvious and thanks in advance for the feedback!
Edit: Changes thus far
- Removed fanny pack
- Fixed fuel canister weight
- Big Sky Dreamsleeper instead of EE Cloud 9 UL Pillow
- Reduced FAK weight estimate: contents still in work
- Frogg Toggs instead of Patagonia Torrentshell (for now, explore emergency poncho only)
