I think if you've done the PCT and want to do something a bit more remote with a bit more challenge this hike could be for you! Similarly if you've done the Arizona Trail and enjoyed that, maybe a thru hike of the GET could be a logical step up. As for you CDT hikers, I think you would know if this hike is for you.
This is my Gear List - My base weight is 9.5lbs (or 4.3kg)

Micro Fiber Cloth - amzn.to/38FIyLh
External Battery - Ravpower PD Pioneer 20,000mAh 60w
Wall Charger - Ravpower PD Pioneer 30w 2-Port
Some things of note:
- This has been a wet winter, so water may be less of an issue for me than it may be for future or past GET thru hikers
- Starting April 1st in Phoenix heading eastbound to Albuquerque
- I expect temperatures into the low 30s at night, and well into the 90s in the day.
- The route is 770 miles or so, and I think it will take me less than 40 days to complete
- This trail shares a little bit of tread with the Arizona Trail, and a little bit with the continental Divide Trail but mostly is cross country, dirt roads, and using smaller trails
- Founded by Brett Tucker, who is also known for creating the Lowest To Highest Route, the Northern New Mexico Loop, the Mogollon Rim Trail, the Sky Islands Traverse, and the Winter Desert Trail.
This is a hike where you could go significantly lighter but hey I want to try some new gear, so I'm going a bit heavier than I normally would. If you wish to go lighter than me I think you could save weight in these places.
- Swapping my air mattress for a foam pad cut to torso length
- Using a tarp instead of a tent
- Carrying a lighter weight fleece than my Pa'lante
- Carrying a smaller backpack
- Leave the camera at home
- Leave the umbrella at home

Some notes having been on the trail now for a bit, I am extremely comfortable. Check out the video description for some thoughts on how you could lighten this load and go more minimal.

@RAINSMAN79 Год назад

This more my style of hike. I could shave 2 lbs off my base but the extra comfort is worth every ounce to me. I explained it to a friend how it’s not just comfort but probably also a safety thing. If I’m more rested and relaxed I’m probably making better/safer decisions too. Maybe not, just an opinion.

I second your recommendation for rain jacket and liner. If you plan on something never going to happen then you have guaranteed it will.

@jbenn4379 Год назад

Interested to see a video recapping this trail: how well the gear worked for you, and was the extra weight worth it. Hike on bud.

@toejamr1 Год назад

I always put a thin rag or even a paper towel over my cook pot and then set the canister in. That keeps them from rubbing metal on metal and keeps the noise down as well. Possibly keep the metal ingested down as well.

@TheBleistift123 Год назад

I'm using one of these small nylon one-time-socks, u somtimes get when shoping shoes. Just use a fresh one :D it can be used as a pre sediment filter for cleaning water aswell. Just slip it over the fuel cannister inside your pot. :)

I definitely popped my inflatable mat on a desert hike before. There were all these tiny thorns that had fallen off of thornbushes and cacti all over the ground, some inevitably wound up inside my tent and that was it for that mat.

@pauletteskalko5909 Год назад

Sometimes it’s easier to pull fine (annoying) cactus from your feet or hand with tape of any kind. Faster than trying to locate it and remove with tweezers.. The cacti splinters get on your shoes and transfer. The bigger pieces are easy, but the fine ones are much more difficult to find

@carolineray2155 Год назад

@DerekHardwick Год назад

There is a COROS adapter you can buy for USB-C to your watch so you don't need to carry a cable (small thing, I know). I carry one little USB-C cable, and a few adapters from C->Garmin, C->micro (for headlamp), and A->C (so I can use the cable on a plane, car, or other situation). I've even played with a C->Lightning but I find they get hot and become unreliable, so I carry a separate cable for my phone since it's a safety issue.

@jaymacpherson8167 Год назад

Nice James. Maybe take a bit of granular activated carbon for water that tastes bad even after filtration. GAC is very light and can be very effective for foul tastes.

@T33wh7 Год назад

Platypus makes a carbon filter I put inline with my sawyer but I’m interested in your more minimal method so you just drop a little in the water or filter it thru?

@jaymacpherson8167 Год назад

@@T33wh7 putting it in the water would require time, and some mixing (which hiking might induce). Use it like coffee grounds would be better (single or multiple pass). GAC will leave some black dust in the water, which may look unappealing tho it is safe to drink.

@Nightlight7 Год назад

How are you liking the z packs quilt? Also for your enigma you used on the pct what fabric denier did you use?

@oacy16 Год назад

My suggestion. Take a 1/8” pad with as a backup. You may use it underneath of an inflatable pad in a denser cacti area for protection against cacti needles. Or on colder nights you can put on top of inflatable mat to bolster an r-value. In helps fight a cold air draw from an inflatable mat…

@barondavis5692 Год назад

I agree, plus if your pad pops, the 1/8 will provide some R on a chilly night.

Garmin watch users: search for USB-C to Garmin adapters! They are tiny little things so you don't need a whole single-purpose cord. The kind I got even has a tether hole so you don't lose it. No NB20000? The Rav Power is nearly as light for a 20Ah.

I just been dreaming about the super minimal gear instead. This is *definitely* more comfortable, and less thought needed to use. But slower and heavier.

5:10 talking about sleeping temp of bag and clothing.. I think maybe you said that backwards? Unless I’m misunderstanding you?

@JupiterHikes Год назад

Not sure what you mean. Normally (not this trip) I carry more clothes and a lighter more minimal sleep system and shelter, since I spend way more time hiking and way less time in camp. The clothes and layering is typically more valuable to me. So this trip I've done the opposite, since I am bringing a much more robust sleep system I don't need the clothes to offset it. It's also slower to pack up, so I'm not walking as early in the mornings. I think most backpackers would take it a step further with camp comfort and bring a puffy and tights. I am hiking solo, so while I'm at camp I don't need such things. I'm in my quilt and tent as soon as I stop for the day.
