I have one, but I hike the AT and I haven't taken it yet. There is alot if tree cover on the AT where I think the PCT is more exposed. I always end up leaving it. Maybe one day I'll just take it.
I'd suggest an extra bottle cap, never know when you'll drop one and step on it, or lose it while collecting water. Throw it in your hygiene or repair kit bag, oh, and have a repair kit.
The video was made just for show. Most of these people that put out these kind of videos don't do what they say they are doing. Most of their hiking and backpacking videos are scripted and embellished.
I know that those lighters are cheaper but trust me when you're out there it's worth it to have a Bic with the safety taken off! Like someone else mentioned as well a Ferro rod can do no wrong. Happy hiking
@@eitanpaster5692half of the instances that your lighter doesn’t work, it’s because the flint has gone. Then you’re in a pickle! Definitely bring a spare something, sparkers are so light and small
From someone who had the same backpack: get a different one, with load lifters. It gave me a lot of shoulder pain because the frame is basically useless without load lifters
@@Andy-Mesa last year there was a almost 16 mile stretch in the beginning without water, I ran out about 3 miles from Moreno lake. The longest 3 miles of my life.
Not too different than most kits nowadays; it looks solid and set. 😁. Not a criticism at all, I just find it funny we have all traded comfortable “heavy” slerping pad weight for rechargeable batteries. Hats off withbmuch respect to anyone thst sleeps comfortably on a Thinlight. 😬. I understand why, it just strikes me as funny when in the 80s and 90s we carried batteries and luxurious Thermarests. ✌️
you just need to safe up some money and quit your job or have an arrangement with your employer. The PCT usually takes around 6-7 Months, but you have very few fixed expenditures. You can do this easily with $10-12k
Here's a tip: gas canister goes into the cup cup can go into a billy can a french coffee press can fit the billy can exactly I bring a primus stove and can make fresh coffee with the french coffee press and takes little space due to the nesting system
As always it's a personal choice. But what I've found is that most people that want an umbrella want to keep the sun off, primarily their head and shoulders. This means they have insufficient head cover. If people want to carry them I see no issue but I make better miles without messing with an umbrella and just wear a booney hat and good sunscreen. Umbrellas do come in handy when stationary though. Nothing like sitting in the blazing sun eating lunch and wishing you were under cover. For the PCT since you start in the spring, usually in NM, you have the coolest days in the hottest and most open areas so I suppose an argument can be made you don't really need it at all.
I'd be taking another external battery. Also I'd definitely get a pack liner instead of a pack cover. Pack covers don't keep your stuff dry that well at all.
Are you taking fitness tracker? If so any recommendations? Best wishes. I’m not quite ready the entire trail as of yet but plan on doing about 1000m. Thanks for the packing list. Very helpful❤
You are totally living the best life. I love that you paint on the way. That is my dream but for the at trail. Happy painting my friend. I know it’s not your channel thin but please show your painting sometimes in your videos. I would love to see it. I love my Art tool kit palette. What do you think about it. 😊
Ditch the pack cover and use a trash bag as a liner for your pack. Keep in mind CA has once again had record snowfall in the mountains. Make sure you have the proper gear for the conditions.
I wouldnt recommend a clear plastic bag for toiletries unless u r flying because the moist trapped in it will start to smell after a week. I know it saves space but - Speaking drom experience 😅
How much food are you lugging? I, guessing you have food drops/stops . Also I’d highly recommend hiking sticks ( makes a big difference for long trekking ) and a decent knife/multi tool and cheap & light solar panel
Food? Tent? Sleepingbag? Warm cloths? All the essential stuff that keeps you alive is missing but you have a lot of totally useless stuff like a notebook, watercolors or an umbrella with you???
The burner needs to be able to turn on at high elevation and in the wind and cold. MSR and Jetboil have their own version but of windproof. I myself just bought a .5 liter Primus Lite and it is compact and windproof.
Do not let ANYONE give you shit about that umbrella.
100% the best damn thing I brought for Socal.
gotta protect yourself from the heat
I have one, but I hike the AT and I haven't taken it yet. There is alot if tree cover on the AT where I think the PCT is more exposed. I always end up leaving it. Maybe one day I'll just take it.
I live and hike in SoCal and I have one with the shoulder attachment and I would definitely recommend it for the desert section
I'd suggest an extra bottle cap, never know when you'll drop one and step on it, or lose it while collecting water. Throw it in your hygiene or repair kit bag, oh, and have a repair kit.
Good idea. I do that. She has 4 bottles so maybe no need if it’s only a couple of sections need long water carry. I’m not sure with PCT.
Sawyer filter and at a bottle cap bidday to save the day
@@vango1131I agree and hand sanitizer
Most bottles have the same thread/cap. Once lost one and found a replacement off a coke bottle walking a road checking litter.
Sucks how water has to be the most heaviest item in the ruck, but the most important lol
yeahhhh I also share the same sentiments hahahha bringing 3 litter of water is no joke
Looks great! Didn't see anything to sleep in though 😳 guessing that part got cut off, good luck!
Thanks so much! It got cut off because there’s a time limit on shorts. Full video on my channel!
@@itsjessferri if you can't get a BIC lighter to at least spark, then you got a real problem. lol
The video was made just for show. Most of these people that put out these kind of videos don't do what they say they are doing. Most of their hiking and backpacking videos are scripted and embellished.
@@itsjessferriwhere is the video!
@@theoriginaldashriprock😮 do you think?
A second Kula for washing the body is a genius idea!
I love how functional everything is. No fluff. No tacticool. Pure trail. Good luck! Stay safe out there!
I just cannot imagine being comfortable on that sleeping pad. I don’t know what I would do without my Nemo tenton.
Also drop the lantern. Just use your headlamp and also get a cheap gas can refiller to refill on the half canisters in the hiker box. Have fun!
No sleeping bag, tent, jacket, food, water? I wondered why your pack looked so small. Will you be assisted?
full video is on her channel showing those things :)
Did you even watch the Video? She has Jacket and water in this
Warm clothes? Sleeping bag?
That's what I was thinking. And tent, sleeping pad.
I’d love to see this same video with the weight of each item and how much it weighs total!
I know that those lighters are cheaper but trust me when you're out there it's worth it to have a Bic with the safety taken off! Like someone else mentioned as well a Ferro rod can do no wrong. Happy hiking
Do not bring a ferro rod. Bring two bics. Weight and reliability is better with a bic.
@@TractorBeam29ferro rods are great for SHTF but not necessary for this thru-hike tons of stores
With a little effort the safety can be used as a fishing hook.
@@TractorBeam29Wrong
Multiple sources of fire recommended, small torch lighter for windy conditions, water proof matches, and a magflint as last resort
a small Ferro Rod can fit in the pen pockets or anywhere else, never know when that lighter or the stove wont light.
The wheel on the lighter can light a stove
@@eitanpaster5692half of the instances that your lighter doesn’t work, it’s because the flint has gone. Then you’re in a pickle!
Definitely bring a spare something, sparkers are so light and small
A Bic lighter might be one of the most reliable things I’ve ever carried. Those things are bullet proof.
Maybe a tent, a sleeping bag and some food?
Yeah she left out a ton of stuff
What kind of rain pants and jacket was that? They were so small packed down!
What packable rain pants and jacket are you using?
I'd love to see your paintings when you do them.
It’s really impressive the low expense gear your managing to survive on
how soon did you mail that umbrella back home lol
I am going in 2024 and so happy to see another person bringing a sketchbook.
2024!
What’s your pack weight?
Happy Trails!
What about the tent? And sleeping bag?
You have done your homework hope you make it remember to enjoy the adventure stay in the moment (walkingman)
You should have 2 lighters and please don't hike alone.🎉
FANTASTIC!!! Safe travels and we look forward to following your journey! ❤
So cool to do it without sleeping bag or quilt and no shelter. Nice👍🏼
Don’t forgot to bring a tent!😉😝
Get 4 extra grommets for your filter in case you lose one. You can get 10 from Home Depot for hose rings.
From someone who had the same backpack: get a different one, with load lifters. It gave me a lot of shoulder pain because the frame is basically useless without load lifters
She’ll ditch two of those bottles and the pack cover before Mt Laguna.
2 liters of water for the desert section lol 😂
I was thinking that too
Yeah, right some of the sections without water on the PC tear multiple day in the desert. You cannot do it with less than 5 L of water.
@@damnitman3170 I literally hiked the PCT desert section this year. There was water everywhere. I used one 1.5L water bottle.
@@Andy-Mesa last year there was a almost 16 mile stretch in the beginning without water, I ran out about 3 miles from Moreno lake. The longest 3 miles of my life.
Love the Gorilla! I’ve used one 3years. I folded the 1/8 in pad and put it in the back pane of the pack and took out the seat pad. Best of luck!

What job do you have that allows you to not be at work that long?
you just need to safe up some money and quit your job or have an arrangement with your employer. The PCT usually takes around 6-7 Months, but you have very few fixed expenditures. You can do this easily with $10-12k
I would say be your own boss or live with your parents.
I live right off the pct in Tahoe
Here's a tip:
gas canister goes into the cup
cup can go into a billy can
a french coffee press can fit the billy can exactly
I bring a primus stove and can make fresh coffee with the french coffee press and takes little space due to the nesting system
Tent, sleeping bag, food?
sleeping bag....tent? and where are all your clothes/....
Adventure of a lifetime! Good luck and stay safe!
Good luck !!! 🙏💚🙏
Have fun !!!
What rain pants are those?
You’ll drop the umbrella pretty quickly. And also the pack cover for a pack liner (SOBO 2019)
1200 miles of hiking this year and I would never give up my umbrella.
"I did this, so everybody must do it this way right...?"
@@EthanDurantless that and more “I saw a lot of people do that and all of them switched to this eventually.”
@@keithlaurenz3774fair play 😊

Congratulations 🎉 best of luck. ❤
Didn't see sleeping gear/system or snow/cold weather gear.. but maybe the PCT starts in summer time. I'm on the AT right now
That’s some beast shit right there good job girly 👍🏼👍🏼
Good luck out there 👏
Maybe add a tent and sleeping bag
Good luck!! I did myn in 2016. Wonderful adventure
I'd be taking another external battery. Also I'd definitely get a pack liner instead of a pack cover. Pack covers don't keep your stuff dry that well at all.
Good luck!!
You are ready for the runway walk.. Have fun and fill us in now and then. We want to go to.. 👍📸
good luck!! i hiked in 2023 :D

we have a v similar kit! i love your pack-out. what kind of backpack is that?
amazing! r u taking an tent too? are you sleeping straight on that sleeping mat?
Have fun!
Best wishes for u❤

And Oregon is full of mosquitos, she's gonna need Deet
Best of luck!
You’re living my dream
I could still shake off a few things you don’t need. But enjoy! It’s the best trail ever!
1-2 sports caps are cool, but all 4 filled at once could lead to accidental disposal. Twist caps are best for non immediate use liquids.
Always fun seeing what others have. Did I miss shelter and sleeping pad?
there was a foamie but no sleeping bag?
bic or a clipper would be a more reliable lighter, i also like braiding my charging cords together to reduce the wire-spaghetti
Wow.. Awesome setup! What was your total carrying weight??
Love it!!
What’s pack, tent and sleep system are you using that pack looks nice
I wouldnt recommend a clear plastic bag for toiletries unless u r flying because the moist trapped in it will start to smell after a week. I know it saves space but - Speaking drom experience 😅
How much food are you lugging? I, guessing you have food drops/stops . Also I’d highly recommend hiking sticks ( makes a big difference for long trekking ) and a decent knife/multi tool and cheap & light solar panel
Lots of stuff you'll find that you'll need, or wish you had with you.
Good luck though, hope you make it and have the time of your life.
You should always bring a water filter
What brand and style is your rain coat? I’m looking for a packable one for travel 😅
Sleep bag tent?
Food? Tent? Sleepingbag? Warm cloths?
All the essential stuff that keeps you alive is missing but you have a lot of totally useless stuff like a notebook, watercolors or an umbrella with you???
No sleeping bag and no jacket. It gets cold in the desert? No tent or tarp? It rains. Good luck
Nope. She won’t be sleeping.
It’s in the longer video. The short stops early. th-cam.com/video/l_TIIcVcdU0/w-d-xo.html
Is there a best time to hike this? My guess is start late spring in Socal right?
Good luck, just reading wild. I am jealous
What type of shoes do you hike in? I'm new, I thought people hike in boots. Are there more comfortable shoes to hike in now?
Drop the pack cover for a pack liner. It's way more waterproof
I wouldn't skip on the med kit , a tourniquet at least
Amazing
Wow! You seem like you did your homework, girl!
Looking good!
What is approx weight?
Will you be updating us on your progress?
Good Luck to you!
The burner needs to be able to turn on at high elevation and in the wind and cold. MSR and Jetboil have their own version but of windproof. I myself just bought a .5 liter Primus Lite and it is compact and windproof.
Why would you be worried about that when she doesn't have a sleeping bag or any warm weather gear?
Sandals for camp? Do you a link for those shoes
Nice gear 😊
Bear bag?
Where do you get your food from? I’m a newbie
Do you have links for the rain pants and jacket? Thanks!
Fire stick and mylar blancket should be on your list.
So clean 😂😂😂
Ha ha ha, you are so cute, nice video.
Take care
Get it! Good luck
Make the lighter a Bic or take a flint or something.. Wouldn't take chances out there
How long are you thinking it's going to take you?
I’m confused where is the tent sleeping bag and clothes ?
What jacket was that? Wanted a light jacket that can be pack into small bag
Where do I find the full video, it’s not on your channel home or videos list
What about sunscreen? Shampoo & conditioner?
Just soap is enough.
Don't forget sunblock, ChapStick, and bug spray buddy
