GDT Gearlist

[Against theGrain]

Hi Guys,

I’ve snooped on BPL for a long while now. I am finally planning my own thruhike and would love some advice/comments on my gear list. I am on a budget, I have most of the gear already and would love to not buy anything if not necessary. Any obvious changes I could make?

I am going to hike the GDT (Waterton – Jasper) this summer with my autistic dog. He is a 65lbs sheppard/husky, and is fully capable of carrying his own gear and food. This is our first hike of this size, but I am an alpine climber, and quite confident in my fitness.

Thanks in advance!

Not even anyone to tell me I’m dumb to bring my dog!?

I’m not familiar with the area so cannot speak to the appropriateness of your equipment. There may be a couple of omissions such as:

A bandana or small towel.

A length of cord if you plan on hanging your food bag.

This may be just my preference but I don’t trust silnylon bags to keep my food dry so I use a plastic bag liner as a backup barrier.

Let us know how your trip goes!
