What's in my pack for my John Muir Trail thru-hike?
Like all JMT hikers...I exerted some serious brain power into what was going on my back for 200ish miles. This is what I came up with plus a few things I learned along the way!
For reference, I built a gear list on LighterPack (lighterpack.com/r/e5vai7). Please don't get too wrapped up on weights of particular items because I don't. Some things I weighed, some things I didn't. I try not to stress about grams and ounces and just try to go lighter when I can. Hope this helps!

Any trouble finding space to pitch the Durston on the JMT? Thank you for taking the time to share your gear and your thoughts behind each piece. Nicely done.

There were certainly times when I had fewer options than my brother with his freestanding tent, but never a time when could find a spot. Thanks for watching!
Can you do a video on how you made your coozie for your cookware?

@@jasonlackey1960 I haven't done a how-to video on making the coozie yet but have plans to when I get some time. There's no hard and fast technique but I used reflectix insulation and mylar tape for looks. Any heavy duty tape will do though.

My pack is a Granite Gear Crown 2 60L if that's what you're referring to. I've taken a hard look at hyperlite when my Crown 2 decides it's done though. Thanks for watching!

Ah gotcha. That's a Zpacks large roll top bag I've had for a while (zpacks.com/products/large-rectangle-dry-bag). I don't necessarily trust it to be completely waterproof, but it's still good for weather proof/keeping clean clothes clean, etc. Hope this helps!
