- This is an updated version of my previous PCT gear list. This was made 1 week before leaving for the trip and I wanted to show a few last minute changes as well as include my rain gear, snow/cold weather gear, as well as what things I have on standby at home that I might want to swap to during the journey.

What I enjoy about this and your Xmid video is the time you take to explain the purpose and functionality of an item and how you use it, not to mention your mods. Highly useful.
Thanks. I'm glad you found value in them. I often fear that I'm too long worded and that my videos come out too long. I appreciate that similar minded folks don't mind and find the value in the explanations. I'm certainly not a "tik tok" style short-as-possible kind of content maker!
You'll probably need the Durston for the Sierra - the bugs are just reaching insane levels! They'll still be insane when you get there, and they'll continue to be that way all through Oregon. With your later start date I'd want evening, night and morning protection for much of the desert too - those (black?) flies come out in force mid May...
I'm interested to see how you get on with the Cutaway at your base weight. With plenty of 5 day carrys before the Sierra and often 3-4L water carrys I'd think that would be pretty uncomfortable. I found with a 16oz framed KS50 with a sewn-in hip-belt that this was pushing the limit for me, even with an 8.5lb base weight.
I'm also interested in how you find the SDUL. I would think with your late start you'll be fine, but insulation is so personal.
Have fun out there!
You might know this but the SMD serenity bug net works great with the Pocket tarp if you do a trip with lots of bugs
One of the most clever, well done
Great video with many tips and modifications that I have never seen anywhere else! Thanks for sharing and safe travels on the PCT!
Thanks! Picking up the sewing machine has really helped me tweak some of the other minor issues I've faced that I hadn't found a solution for yet. I'll be sure to report in on how everything works out.
Love your video and all your explanations. Looking forward to hear what you have to say about your setup after your hike. Enjoy your trip!
Very thought out packing list with a lot of personal items that work for you. Great stuff, wish you the best on your journey.
Thanks! I'm hopeful that I've dialed this kit in for what I'll want on the PCT.
Love the sleep system. I’m trying to use the Tempe the same way you mentioned, to see high and low for the day. Curious how you see the low for the night the next day?
The device has a 24 hour memory, so the lowest temp that it shows was likely the coldest the night got the previous night. The tempe is almost always off during the day due to the sun hitting the thermometer. If you found a way to mount it so it wasn't in the sun I'm sure you could get more accurate info than how I've used mine. My Fenix watch shows me all that info when I go to the temperature page after the tempe is connected once.
Got it, this is much appreciated, thank you for replying.
Last Q if don’t mind, do you have to go into your watch settings and reconnect to the sensor each time you want to check? I see that it will disconnect to conserve battery after 30 seconds. Or does opening the temp widget initiate the sync with the Tempe’s info?
You’re a gear junkie nut like me!! CHEERS!
Guilty. I love playing around with things and trying to predict what kit might perform the best in a given situation. I have an entire bedroom in my house turned into a gear room. Things have only gotten better since I picked up a sewing machine and learned some of the basics.
Nice mods/custom.
Thanks!
