PCT Shakedown Request - Late March Start
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body
Current base weight:Â 10.84 lbs.
Location/temp range/specific trip description:Â PCT, Campo start scheduled March 20 but will be scouring for cancelled permits targeting early/mid April. Worst-case scenario, I roll w/ a March 20 start.
Solo or with another person?:Â Solo.
Additional Information:
- Came from a more traditional backpacking setup w/ a 65L 5lb bag and a base weight of 20 lb. Recently switched out a ton of my gear for lighter stuff, with only my tent as the large unreplaced item.
- Undecided on whether or not to bring trekking poles-- Leaning w/o. I have the basic Cascade Mountain Tech poles from Amazon. Tent doesn't need trekking poles, and I've been OK on a couple trips w/o them. Not sure how necessary they would be for the trail.
- Excluded snow gear of axe and microspikes. To be purchased closer to start date depending on if I'm able to get a cancelled April permit and snow reports.
- I have both the BRS3000 and Pocket Rocket 2 (w/ spark) stoves. Opted in for the MSR stove since the BRS seems a little delicate/unstable and I'm not sure if the risk is worth the couple oz savings.
- I have a 3L bladder but was planning on using that only for the desert and using Smartwater bottles the rest of the way.
