[pct-l] My Gear List - Need Some Experienced Thoughts

[John Abela]

Hey Everybody,

I wanted to bump my post from back on January 10th that I posted because I
have put a lot of work and thought and such into getting my gear listed
updated and was hoping I could get some further feedback from the PCT alumni
out there.

When I first posted I was at 18 pounds.

I have worked my gear down to 8.9 pounds right now.

I am really considering switching a few things up that would take me down to
7.1 pounds (though I would have to spend $650 in order to do it - which I
could nearly make up after selling existing gear)

I would just really like to get the thoughts of those of you out there who
have done the PCT before and let me know your thoughts on my "present setup"
and how you think it would work out.

And if you would like to share your thoughts on the "potential setup" I
would love to know your thoughts on that too of course!

Obviously not 'everything' is in my list... a few little things still not in
there... but I think I have just about everything vital is.


Again, thank you to all the people out there who have helped me over the
last three months!!!
