This is my full 2025 Pacific Crest Trail 3 season thru-hiking gear list.
Comfort, safety, and full self-reliance at just 4.5 lbs—it is possible. This ultralight backpacking setup is perfect for any summer thru-hike or backpacking trip.
It includes:
A fully enclosed shelter
A self-inflating air mattress (more comfortable than the Therm-a-Rest Xlite)
6.5 oz backpack
Full rain protection
