Going Outdaws
Everything I carried on my Appalachian Trail thru-hike
2015 AT Gear List
Disclaimer
This gear list is from my 2015 thru-hike and changed throughout the journey as I swapped, mailed away, and picked up new items along the way. Every hiker is different - some people carried a lot more, some carried a lot less. The cost or weight of your gear is not necessarily a factor in a successful hike, so choose the gear that works best for you.
