So. On review I’m probably not going to spend more than $12 on gear before we do the Sierra section.
- Yogi on bear canister requirements in California
- Sierra resupply options by Yogi
- NOBO resupply KMS to KMN
- 1.6 ounce wind shell (awfully pricy).
- https://www.triplecrownoutfitters.com/pct-local-permits (includes how to get Sierra section local permits).
- Drink from your water bottle hands free (I’ve purchased one of these but now I need to drill a hole in a bottle cap so it will work).
- Gloves for cold weather and rain (yep. I’m about to change again—but probably not to these—too expensive).
- https://sectionhiker.com/lightheart-gear-rain-jacket-review-silpoly/ —I’m thinking that I may just get another one and abuse it as a windshell too.
- https://www.mountainhardwear.com/p/mens-crater-lake-hoody-1982411.html (my favorite). I’m going back to mine. It has some wear but I think it will last long enough.
- $12.99 sun hoody (can’t beat the price).
- Recipes for backpacking food (lots of them here).
- Repair shops for your Dyneema tent.
- Nylofume pack liners for under $2.50 (my current choice for pack liners). I’m using one ever since my Dyneema pack liner started wicking water into my sleeping bag instead of protecting it.
- Better water bottle push/pull caps (I should have bought more of these the first time. I’ve ended buying them several times).
- Skurka on rain gloves (an alternative — one that is reasonably priced).
- Altitude Training Mask. I’m still learning about these. But they don’t work. https://www.airofit.com/blog/elevation-masks-do-they-really-work/
