(I just posted this in the Gear Lists forum, figured I would post here as well)
Hi guys, I will be starting the PCT on April 15th, NOBO.
This is my first long distance hike. I have some backpacking experience, but not a lot.
I know that my pack weight is relatively heavy compared to most of yours. I tried to be as thorough as possible. I understand that many of my items could be considered unnecessary (luxury), but I will attempt to explain my selections if asked about them (futile, I know). I will probably just send home stuff that I do not find to be worth the weight. My "Big Four" are pretty much set in stone.
I am posting my gear list because I figure that it cannot hurt to do so, and hope that people could point out things that I should be taking but did not list. Besides that, any additional comments or suggestions are welcome!
(I have some items marked with a "W" or a "B" in parenthesis before the name, meaning I either need to Weigh or Buy the item, or both)
