Just Lichter explains his gear choices for his and Shawn Forry's recent winter PCT hike. Thought this was interesting for one because not many backpackers spend such a sustained period of time in winter conditions. Of particular interest:
–they used a trail designs caldera cone with alcohol for melting snow and cooking for the entire trip
–they used MLD spirit quilts as over-quilts. This gets talked about a lot here, but cool to see that it worked so flawlessly for such a long trip
–and they used an MLD cuben duomid the whole trip
