Hey /out/,
First time posting, usually dont venture over this way but as I come to the end of my time in the army i've begun preparations for a thru-hike of either the PCT or CDT (Havn't been sold but leaning more towards the PCT).
I know whats worked for me so far, but my camping and field experiences have usually been in supported groups and now I feel like I will probably end up doing the vast majority of the trail alone. What kind of redundancies should I invest in keeping that in mind?
I cant exactly have 5 ways to purify water, and days of extra rations weighing me down- especially since I am planning to bring a smaller pack and not spend several months with an 80lb ruck on my back for once.
Is there any gear that /out/ recommends? I have a fair amount of snugpak stuff which has supplemented my TA-50 quite nicely when I want to. (Which includes my planned shelter- a stratosphere bivy)
Any help would be appreciated.
