[danvswild]

Hey folks! My name is Dan and I used to work for Tumblr. I quit my job about 10 days ago to prepare and commit myself to a long distance thru hike. Welcome to my hiking Tumblr 🎉🎉🎉

Here we go! It's T minus 4 days until the beginning of my Pacific Crest Trail thru hike. I will be blogging and documenting my journey on the trail. I suppose I will try to publish my posts every time I go into a trail town.

Gear List

Let's break down the gear I will be starting with!

There may be a few I'm leaving out of this list but ^ gives you a general sense of what I will be carrying. Here's also a link to my lighter pack

Base weight is currently just under 14 lbs! As reference, I am 5'7 130 lbs

Section 1: Southern California

The Southern Californian portion of the trail is dominated by desert landscapes with a few mountain passes. Socal saw record snow fall this year so I hope water resupply in this section won't be as big of an issue!

The following are all the trail towns I will be visiting in this section. For the sake of simplicity, all trail towns up to Kennedy Meadows South or KMS will be part of socal.

My friends back in NYC will be sending me resupply packages as I go. Currently, I'm reading Pacific Crest Trials which I am finding to be very interesting in terms of mental preparation for the thru hike.

My friend Kevin will be driving me down to Campo, the southern terminus of the trail on the 29th!

I'm feeling pretty good about this and as prepared as I can be!!! I also reached out to a manufacturer to make pins I could give out to fellow hikers on the trail. I've learned from music festivals that pins are a great way to make friends :3

It's just a simple design of the PCT trail marker but it came out looking very nice!

Intentions & Goals

I read this book called 'Start With Why' with one of my previous coworker and I thought defining my "why"s for the trail will help tremendously. I know I will have really tough days and days when I want to just quit and go back to the comforts of society. Here is my unpolished "why" for the PCT that I memoed on my phone:

I am doing this for to remind myself that I can do anything I put my mind to. This year, my friend passed away and I was reminded that life is fleeting and I need to live pursuing what I want more vigorously. Postponing happiness until retirement is a flawed life approach! I've always wanted to this and I would like to take this time to figure out what I really want to do in this life and where I want to end up. I am trying to live with more intentionality and I'm working towards a real goal I've set for myself and doing this out of my own joy.

I am hiking the PCT because:

I need time to evaluate what I want to do with my life and career

The PCT has always been a larger than life adventure that I wanted to do

Life is short and I should take every chance I get to pursue what I want to do in life

I have the rest of my life to excel in my career

I want to experience true freedom and self sufficiency

I want to prove to myself I can do anything I set my mind to

Well here we go and I will try to post updates on my epic as I go :D

Happy Earth month! Go plant a tree 🌲

Check out this listing I just added to my Poshmark closet: Klymit Static V Sleeping Pad.

[panergy]

5 Top-Rated Camping and Backpacking Pillows-Panergy

1) Trekology Ultralight Inflatable Pillow 2.0

Price: $15 Amazon Reviews: average 4.5 stars Weight: 3.4 oz (100g) Pillow Thickness (when inflated): 4 inches

Pros: lightweight and small when packed, has rubber anti-slipping dots to increase friction between your pillow and the sleeping mat, latch strap can further prevent the pillow from moving around while you sleep, 1-way value, good price

Cons: no insulation

Field Tested Review: I’m really surprised by the quality and comfort of this pillow, especially for the price! The 1-way valve and anti-slipping rubber dots are a really nice touch, and they’re features that none of the other pillows on this list have. I think this pillow is overall comfortable. For back sleepers and side sleepers, this pillow might work really well if you need something that’s lightweight and small.

2) KlymIt Pillow X

Price: $30 Amazon Reviews: average 4-stars Weight: 3.2 oz (90.7g) Pillow Thickness (when inflated): 4.25 inches (10.8 cm)

Pros: small and lightweight

Cons: no insulation and the shape can take time to get used to, not suited for all types of sleepers

Field Tested Review: The X design helps to keep your head in the center of the pillow and it fits inside a mummy sleeping bag hood so it doesn’t slide around. I think this pillow is best for back sleepers. This was not my favorite pillow. The X design keeps your head in the center, but if you move around as you sleep and/or sleep on your side or stomach, the X design might be uncomfortable.

3) Nemo Fillow Inflatable Travel Pillow With Cover

Price: $40 Amazon Reviews: average 4.5 stars Weight: 9 oz (255 g) Pillow Thickness (when inflated): 4 inches

Pros: soft and comfortable insulating foam layer on top to keep you warm, you can take the cover off and wash it

Cons: bulky, relatively heavy, and the underside is very slippery

Field Tested Review: This pillow is super comfortable for me. I love the soft foam layer on top. The underside is slippery on a sleeping pad, but if you put it in your sleeping bag hood, you can eliminate sipping. For backpacking, this pillow is a little bulky and relatively heavy.

4) Teton Sports Camp Pillow

Price: $15 Amazon Reviews: average 4.5 stars Weight: 12 oz (400 g) Pillow Thickness: 4 inches

Pros: machine washable cover, poly fiber fill lofts on it own so no inflating necessary, makes no noise

Cons: heavy for backpacking, feels cheap

Field Tested Review: This was my least favorite pillow that I tested. While it’s a good price, the poly fiber fill just feel cheap and over time, I think this pillow would be flat. In addition, I think this pillow is too bulky and heavy for backpacking.

5) Therm-A-Rest Compressible Travel Pillow

Price: $24 - $34 depending on the size you buy Amazon Reviews: average 4 stars Weight: 7 oz (small), 9 oz (medium) Pillow Thickness: 4 inches

Pros: comfortable, warm, soft, inexpensive

Cons: bulky and relatively heavy for backpacking, might not have enough height for side sleepers

Field Tested Review: I love this pillow. It has over 2,000 reviews on Amazon with an average of 4 stars - that’s pretty good! This pillow is so soft, warm, and comfortable - 3 very important things for me. It comes in all sorts of fun patterns and colors. I think this pillow is great for car camping, but for backpacking, unfortunately it’s just too bulky for me to pack. I don’t mind carrying a little extra weight for some comfort, but this simply takes up too much room in my pack for backpacking.

What does your gear list look like so far for the jmt? What kind of training are you doing? Reading any books or blogs?

Oh man Anon! I am so excited to tell you about this! Training: Right now I’m doing a hike once a week, preferably with some significant elevation and/or some water crossings. I was also doing some stair training and should probably get back to it. I’m under no delusions about the adequacy of training once a week, I’m just busy because I’m also training for a sporting event. Reading: Yes! I’ve read! So! Many! Blogs! I also have Elizabeth Wenk’s guidebook and the NatGeo map booklet. And of course I’ve been browsing the JMT reddit and have joined the two big JMT groups on Facebook to listen in on everyone’s discussion. Interestingly it seems the majority of folks are traveling NoBo, so outside of the guidebook and the occasional blog I haven’t found a ton of SoBo specific information. Gear: Boots - La Sportive Nucleo High GTX II Poles - Black Diamond Cork Ergo Tent - REI Co-Op Quarter Dome SL 1 w/ Footprint Sleeping Pad - Klymit Insulated Static V Sleeping Bag - Marmot Trestles Elite Eco 20F Bear Can - BV500 Stove - Jetboil Flash + French Press Filter - Sawyer Squeeze? There are some obvious and major holes in that gear list! Some of them because I haven’t picked out gear for that spot and some of them because I just don’t know. What I need. I have been repeatedly informed that instant coffee is the easiest route because of packing the grounds out but I’m all over the aesthetic of a fresh french press in the wilderness. Also considering that I may need a bag liner because I tend to sleep a little cold. Need to figure out the weight of food, clothing, emergency supplies, misc gear, so that I can work out what kind of backpack I need. I’m leaning towards the Osprey Atmos AG 65 but it’s relatively heavy so I might be able to swap for something lighter depending on what my final max weight is going to be.

Gearing Up

-------------------------------------------------------

Okay, let's talk gear. What's in my pack? Let's dive into more than just my fishing kit, which we'll get to. I know it seems like that's all I care about most of the time, but there's a lot more to it. Let's open up my backpack and get started!

First things first, let's talk about base weight vs total weight. I get asked all the time "how much does your backpack weigh?", and I find that to be a loaded question. Most people in the backpacking, and specifically thruhiking, community are going to refer to something called a "base weight." What this is, is all of your main gear without any consumables (food, water, fuel, etc). We use that number because the amount of food and water that you're going to be carrying is going to vary drastically based on where and what you're doing.

Before we get into my pack, let's also talk about worn weight. Sun hoodies. And I can't stress this enough... Sun hoodies. I'll also be wearing a mesh trucker hat that will double as a net if needed, but again more on that later. I'm a big fan of Patagonia baggie shorts, and I'll be rocking those as well. I wear Darn Tough socks, with Injinji toe socks underneath. Ha! Don't knock it til you try it, I've never had a blister since going that route. Most importantly, my shoes (at least to start the trail) will be Altra Lone Peak 5s. I beat my current pair up pretty good this last season, but Maddie just got me a new pair to have to start the PCT in. Oh, and I wear a pair of gaiters to keep the dirt out!

Ok, let's get into this thing! My backpack is the Gossamer Gear Mariposa, a 60L frameless ultralight pack. Not the most UL(ultralight) by some standards, but it works for me. Backpacks with frames don't agree with me, I learned that on the Tahoe Rim Trail but that's a story for another day. First thing to go in my pack is my waterproof pack liner aka a trash compactor bag. My pack is inherently waterproof, but this should help should it get drenched. Next in is my quilt. I have a custom 30° quilt from UGQ Outdoors. It's help up for a season and a half, and I have no complaints. Next into my pack is my sleeping pad, which I slide in vertically to act as a "frame" in my pack. My sleeping pad is an Insulated Klymit V-Static pad. It's a bit narrow, but it gets the job done. The next thing in is our tent. Maddie and I share the Gossamer Gear The Two tent. It's not like we're hanging out in the tent for long periods, but when we are in there, it's roomy enough. I carry the bulk of the tent, and Maddie carries the stakes and the stove (we use an MSR pocket rocket 2). The pack, shelter, and sleep system is what we refer to as the "big three."

After my big three, my non-worn clothing takes up a majority of what's left inside my pack. I have two extra pairs of each boxers and socks, which are stuffed in the footbox of my quilt. Next I have a pair of Patagonia baselayer pants for those chilly mornings/ evenings and a pair of Columbia zip off pants for similar reasons (plus bugs). I have a Melanzana baselayer hoodie that's like wearing a cloud, this is the first thing I grab when I start getting cold. Next comes the Mountain Hardwear puffy jacket that pairs nicely with the Melly. In extreme areas, I'll have a Mountain Hardwear rain jacket that has been tested to be waterproof. All of that gets tucked in that trash bag, I mean pack liner, and rolled down.

The last thing "in" my pack would be my bear bag. Maddie and I both carry an Ursack Major. When required, we'll be switching to our Bear Vault bear cans. Inside either option I use scent proof bags from Smelly Proof as a further preventative.

Okay, now let's get into what's in the outside of my pack. First of, my hip belt pockets are for snacks and trash. In that order. On my shoulder strap, I carry an emergency beacon. In the back outer mesh, I swap out clothes that I might want that day along with my daily food bag. I also have my camp shoes (Tevas), a collapsible cup, and my water filter (Katadyn BeFree) I the back mesh. On my right hand side, I have my water bottle(s) in an easy to access pocket. In a pocket above them, I have a small ditty bag and a small first aid kit. Mostly things to stop bleeding. In the ditty bag is things like my head lamp, battery pack, bug mesh hat, and a few other small items. On the opposite side, is a large pocket with my fishing gear.

Ready to talk fishing gear? I thought so. I've really streamlined my setup, to the point that I won't even be bringing a net. I'll be using my hat, as I mentioned earlier. If that turns out to be a total bust, I'll have a handy pack net mailed to me along the way. The rod that I'll be bringing is the Yari rod from Tenkara Rod Co. It's a 360cm (~12'), traditional style Japanese tenkara rod. When collapsed, it's 53cm (~21") and weighs just 2.5oz. I'll be taking two lines with me, a 10' level line and a 13' level line. I've come to find those two work best for me. To carry those lines, I'll be using my Ikari L fly box/ line spool. It has tracks to hold two lines, and four compartments inside to hold a whole plethora of flies. I think I have mine stuffed with three dozen. I'll also take a spool of 6x tippet. I may also add it a pair of hemostat pliers. My whole fishing kit comes in around 6oz.

That should just about do it. That's it. All you need to live. I may have missed a few things, but this isn't an all inclusive list. I just wanted to give people that might not backpack a look at what I'll be carrying and living in for about six months.

As of the time of this writing, my gear is about 98% dialed in. I don't have a current base weight, but I'm sure I'll be talking all about one with a couple months. If you've read all of this, hats of to you! Thanks for listening!

Until next time,

-Nick @norcaltenkara
