Yeah, the PCT is different from the AT. But, as people who are setting out on the AT next summer are probably accumulating gear, I thought I'd post a list of what I took on my PCT hike this summer. My gear was pretty constant. I used a bounce box for some consumables and to send a few pieces of gear forward. I was a bit cold at night in the Sierra and should have brought my 20 degree bag. Other than that, this is the gear that worked well for me in temps ranging from 15 (at night!) to 105+ degrees, in deserts, mountains, forests, etc. Note that the PCT is much, much drier than the AT. I had 5 minutes of rain in the Mojave, got 2.5" of snow in the Sierra, 2 hours of heavy rain one night in Oregon, a couple of short rains at night in Washinton, and two days of misty rain in Washington. This is more or less what I will bring with me on the AT or CDT next summer.

Gear - About 11-12 lbs without food or water
