Finally got all my gear for the trail dialed! In today's video, I go through my bag and show you every piece of gear I am bringing on my 2022 PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) thru-hike attempt. Bonus- My friend Nika Meyers (Triple Crown Thru-hiker and FKT, Fastest Known Time, holder) gives her three best tips for planning gear for your thru-hike. Right before this video, she gave me a good ole fashion gear shakedown so I weave in lots of her tips and advice throughout the video.
