Gear list: Winter day hikes
This is a list of gear that I carry as a predominantly solo-hiker in the winter in the Washington Cascades. Its light enough for me to quickly and safely navigate most things that I will encounter in my area.
That being said, every hiker will have different needs and comfort levels. If you if are comfortable barefoot in a loincloth, or want to bring a full 50lb expedition pack then do it. Do what works for you. If you have any suggestions or input, feel free to comment below!
Prices may not reflect actual market cost, when possible I attempt to buy on sale or used.
