This is everything I took on my 2022 Thru-Hike of the Pacific Crest Trail.
My gear changed a lot along the way but here are all the things I started with, as well as what I decided to change and why!
My future kit will be far lighter and I am excited to share what I am currently using! Stay tuned for that video shortly.

The setup with shelf outside in nature with everything nicely laid out was excellent. Also noticed the fun quilt bag toss cut to quilt being out of bag.

Pretty much covered it all . . . This was an extra low summer rain year. There were monsoons but this year they just produced lighting and fires. Some years it rains a lot. Last year I waited three days in Mammoth for some big hail storms to blow through. It rained a little this year in Tahoe but it ended up going over to Yellowstone where it created those all time record floods. Mountain weather is unpredictable. I'm with you on the down jacket, I dont own one, the fleece and a wind jacket is enough. I have not been in any big snow other than San Jacinto and I was good with just the fleece and no down jacket or thermals. My feet froze one day though. I got unlucky with deep wet snow for 6 hrs. The morning was like walking in a Christmas Card scene and then it all melted . . .

The weather is definitely unpredictable isn't it, I think we definitely got lucky this year (besides the super long heat wave through the middle of the hike). Keeping feet warm is a hard one to solve, usually I just keep on pushing until my feet warm up

No worries mate, me to regarding the shorts... they were brown pretty quickly haha but they almost felt like a trophy for all the miles I had travelled. Definitely give cold soaking a go on longer trips, it's a breeze!

Thank you for posting your follow up video. Your Hiking PCT video was truly magical to watch.. My question tho Ii couldn't understand the GPS app you used while hiking the PCT.
@JackScottkeogh
@JackScottkeogh Год назад
G'day Drew! It's called FarOut, it's an awesome app! It shows wyou where to go but also has markers on it that show where water sources and thing like that are, other hikers who have been at particular markers can leave comments such as 'water here on 10/1/23' which makes it easy to know where you can fill up at

Thanks, very well presented overview. I‘m looking at getting a EE Revelation as well, but my fears of being cold made me consider the -12°C version. Was -6°C warm enough in the Sierras? Thanks!
@JackScottkeogh
@JackScottkeogh Год назад
It definitely was for me and I even cowboy camped at forester pass, we actually cowboy camped pretty much every night in the Sierra and I was fine, you could get a colder year so it’s hard to gauge but for me the -6 was heaps

Always love good gear overviews. I bet if there were 1000 of those Exped mattresses on trail some would be trying to find a leak in a few of them. What do you think?
@JackScottkeogh
@JackScottkeogh Год назад
Yeah that’s probably a good point! I can only speak from experience from myself and a few friends that have them and none of us have had any issues ever but I honestly mean it when I say every single person I know on trail who had one of those famous yellow inflatables had problems
@goonbuggy1135
@goonbuggy1135 Год назад
@@JackScottkeogh Probably cause the yellow baffles go side to side, not up and down. Just guessing though. As a late gen xer 77, when ever we went camping in the 80s, sleeping on exped style, beach floaty mats. Never ever, ever again. Ill burn the lot of them and sleep in the dirt.

Great information. I’m in the camp of “no way I’m cold soaking”. If you say it was working, I’ll look at making the switch. You didn’t need any micro spikes for the snowy areas?
@JackScottkeogh
@JackScottkeogh 7 месяцев назад
Yeah worth a try I think! I never found myself wishing I had hot food out there. And no spikes needed in our year, it was a fairly low snow year
@1z1zmike
@1z1zmike Год назад
Cool…thanks. What foods did you take to cold soak, I wonder?🙂🙏
@JackScottkeogh
@JackScottkeogh Год назад
No worries mate! I mainly cold soaked Knorr's Sides rice and cous cous, they're the easiest things for sure, the Knorr's sides rice takes about an hour and a half and cous cous is only about 15-20 minutes but it doesn't matter how early you put it on really

@bohdanafanasyev3642 Год назад
Thank you for sharing the list, may I wonder how many literes you would still have left for the food, or what would be your feeling on what would be the max days of food you will be able to add on?
@JackScottkeogh
@JackScottkeogh Год назад
G'day mate! To be honest I am not sure how many litres my food took up but i'd say I usually carried about 3-4 days worth on average which would be a bit smaller than a shoe box (at most). Our longest food carry was about 6-7 days which was pretty damn heavy but it gets lighter pretty quickly.

@JackScottkeogh
@JackScottkeogh Год назад
I started on April 26th mate! I would probably pack the same if I started earlier or later, knowing how easy it is to ditch stuff and get stuff back to you, I would still just take my fleece, rain jacket and hiking shirt, especially for the desert

Hey Jack, what were the average night time temperatures for the first 700 miles? I've got all the gear, I want to be comfortable but I don't want to be loaded with items I will hardly use, just as you pointed out there. A bounce box sounds like a terrific idea!
@JackScottkeogh
@JackScottkeogh Год назад
G'day mate! I cant remember exactly but I'd say maybe around 10 degrees C or around 50 F, I cowboy camped pretty much every single night of the desert and never got cold, even when you wake up to an icy sleeping bag

G'day Andy, I started on April 26th and finished on August 25th so 4 months in total. You get cold mornings pretty much the whole trail but it doesn't take long to warm up, even when i was cowboy camping at Forester pass it was fine. I also made a film on my whole trip you can see on my channel

Oi Oi Oi! Hey mate, loved the vid - did you buy the gear in-country, or bring it in from Oz? Doing the PCT next year and don't know whether I'd be better off importing it or buying it when I'm over there...
@JackScottkeogh
@JackScottkeogh Год назад
G'day mate! I got most of the stuff while I was still in OZ but it would make sense to get some over there, like if you buy a zpacks tent and bits and pieces you're going to get hit with important tax which will be like an extra $300 odd. Most of the other stuff I just got here or already had but it's also so easy to get stuff on trail, I'd order stuff to the next town often so I wouldn't stress too much

I would buy over there as you will get wrecked on import tax if the customs dude notices. Although if you know anyone in the states get it shipped to them, they rough it up a little, take price tags and stuff sacks out and mail to you in a big messy box labeled as "camping gear" ;)
