Just so you know, Mountain Hardwear, if you kit me out completely, I’ll be happy to do the PCT and report back on the extended field test.
From the Mountain Hardwear blog:
Our industry professionals have compiled a list of recommended gear which should get you through the Pacific Crest Trail in high spirits. …
* Sleeping Bag/Bivy
* Tent
* Baselayer
* Shells
* Backpacks
* Gaiters
What gear should I bring on the Pacific Crest Trail?
If they deny me that sponsorship, I’ll need to try their Mission Project Challenge (video). Post my trip report on their Mission Project blog.
How do you like my chances?
