Hi All,

I hiked the PCT in 2024 and I’m planning for a SOBO CDT hike in 2026, starting in late June with my partner. We both carry all of our own gear.

Goal Baseweight (BPW): Around 9lbs, I want to be lower than I am now by at least a half pound.

Budget: No more than ~$750 USD, ideally.

I'm looking to: See what I may have missed or can upgrade or leave

Non-negotiable Items: Kula cloth, my pot (because of the size), and my pack. I really like my tensor pad and my quilt, but if there are lighter options with comparable warmth I would love to know.

Additional info: I’m a pretty cold sleeper and I tend to run cold in general. Anything in green in my lighterpack are things I haven’t purchased yet. Anything in yellow I still need to properly weigh. I’m waiting on long-term reviews of the ADOTEC bag to buy it.
