Every year, I break down the gear used by Pacific Crest Trail hikers. After weeks of toiling, the Class of 2024 breakdown is ready.

The breakdown includes backpacks, shelters, sleeping bags/quilts, sleeping pads, insulated jackets, shells, fleeces, shoes, socks, water treatment, stoves, trekking poles, bear canisters, PLBs, ice axes, traction systems, and fitness trackers. It also looks at base weights, luxury items, and battery packs, and more.

I changed the layout and added sections this year; I’m happy with the results and feel it flows better versus previous years. As always, I would love to hear any feedback.

Hope you enjoy it!
