I put together my ultralight backpacking kit for 2017. If I was doing a thru-hike this year, this would be what my pack would start out looking like. Like most people it would evolve as I hike. This gear is all gear that I have tested and tried on the trail. I am comfortable with it and trust it. You need to find what works for you and tweak your kit to fit your style and needs.

Here is the loadout video if you want to check it out.
