Gear list: 3 season Backpacking (Overnight)
This is a list of my 3-season gear for overnight backpacking trips in the Washington Cascades. I threw it together quickly for my upcoming trip so I may change/add to this list in the coming week. Its light enough for me to quickly and safely navigate most things that I will encounter in my area. I have trimmed my total weight from 31 lbs to 19.12 lbs (fully loaded food/water/etc) in 1 years time.
Every hiker will have different needs and comfort levels. If you if are comfortable barefoot in a loincloth, or want to bring a full 50 lb expedition pack then do it. Do what works for you. If you have any suggestions or input, feel free to comment below!
