PACIFIC CREST TRAIL GEAR

Here is a link to my LighterPack, which is a tool that a lot of thru hikers use to keep track/weigh all their gear. Everything I’m bringing at the beginning of the PCT is listed on here, as well as below. It’s a little heavy to start, but I figure I will likely start sending stuff home that I don’t end up using.
