What camping gear is ideal for the TransAmerica Trail? Well, there are many ways to skin this cat, and there's not one absolute answer. In this video, I discuss the camping equipment I used on two different TAT trips (and on other trips, as well). I share what worked well, what didn't work well, and why. Hopefully, it helps others in their TAT planning!
My apologies for the poor audio in this video. My primary audio file was corrupted, so I had to use the secondary audio file from the camera’s built-in microphone.
