Gear
This is the gear I’ll be using on the starting around April 1st. A 7.68lb base weight, carrying a full camera setup! This trail is 800 miles from Mexico to Utah, across the state of Arizona. Through the desert, through the high mountains, temperatures can range from extremely hot to extremely cold. It will be an interesting challenge, and though my gear seems quite minimal this is actually the most I have ever carried on any thru hike I’ve done.
