I have spent months researching and selecting the gear for my PCT thru-hike. Here is the complete list of every single piece of gear and its weight and msrp cost. Some of the gear is used, purchased with a pro-deal, split with a friend(the tent), or was a gift, so the cost does not directly correspond to my out of pocket expenses. It will however, give you a good idea of what it costs to build an excellent ultra-light kit like mine. Every item that has a website associated with it will be a link.
Thank you for your donations and support; this would not be possible without you.
