[pct-l] Gear list

[dm at quixnet.net]

I have only done day hikes, but am considering hiking the PCT starting next
year, probably doing it in sections over the next 3 years.  Is there
anyplace to find lists of necessary gear posted by experienced hikers?  I
found one list in Georgia Swan's journal, but would like more for
comparision.  I have talked to people in a couple of sporting goods stores
but of course they always want to sell maximum dollars in top of the line
stuff, rather than minimum weight adequate equipment.

 

I hope to find a hiking partner among my outdoorsy friends as doing it solo
does not appeal to me for safety reasons.

 

Info from experienced hikers would be most appreciated.
