Here's the latest round up of the gear I've been dialing in the last few years while setting self-supported FKTs on the Long Trail, Pinhoti Trail, and Swiss Via Alpina. I also thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in the fastest northbound supported time for women (51 days). Right before I made this video I hiked 300+ miles of the Virginia AT in 12 days with this set up. My biggest priority is having gear that's a good combo of light and durable, being prepared for the elements, and being prepared for when things go wrong! I hope it's helpful/interesting to see what's in my pack, please ask question or add your suggestions in the comments! ~Liz (trail name Mercury) Here's my full gear list with product names and links: https://lighterpack.com/r/0cy8n3 Big thanks to Mountain Hardwear, Nashville Pack, Hiker Trash, and Tracksmith for providing me with their amazing gear! Correction: I mistakenly referred to Kari Traa as being a Swedish brand. They are, in fact, a Norwegian brand! karitraa.com Hyperlapse music written and recorded by me!
