Shakedown Request - Late April PCT Start
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

Current base weight: 12.8 lbs

Location/temp range/specific trip description: PCT, Campo start on April 26th, aiming to finish by late August/early September or averaging ~20 miles per day.

Budget: ~$500ish.

Non-negotiable Items: Nothing particularly, I'm open to suggestions! I do need to carry epi-pens for allergies and I carry 2x for redundancy. That and inreach.

Solo or with another person?: Solo, my partner or some friends may join in for some parts.

Additional Information:

  • I need to pick up some items – especially consumables FAK but I put placeholder weights there (please let me know if these are misaligned, I thought my estimates were reasonable though
  • Still undecided on the tent and I'm a bit wary of the huge footprint of the X-Mid 2P. If a good deal comes up I'd swap out for a smaller footprint tent (tiger wall ul 2, hornet osmo, GG the Two)
  • Undecided on sleeping bag. For a marginal weight penalty, the WM alpinlite is very tempting to bring. This might be a 'pack your fears' type thing and with a late April start it should be pretty warm throughout.
  • I have 4L of water storage planned between katadyn, plastic bottle, and vector 2L, should I get more? Would another smart water bottle be a good idea?
  • I'm considering adding some sleep layers (or would thermals here be ok?), maybe for the benefit of not sleeping in the sweaty/dusty clothes from the day but after a month on the trail that probably doesn't matter anymore...
  • I might add some more camera gear – assume 12oz additional weight (Ricoh GR III some batteries)
