GEAR OVERVIEW | LIGHTWEIGHT + PHOTOGRAPHY

The following is a list of current hiking gear.

Much of the geared is aimed towards lightweight or ultralight backpack, for many reasons including comfort...and reducing weight so that I can carry my DSLR without having a absurd base weight. You read that correctly. I always take my 1.5-2 pound [body only] DSLR hiking. It is an added weight, but I know I would regret not taking it. For more information on hiking with a DSLR, click here [coming soon].

[ABOVE] Includes many changes and additions from the list below. Working on upgrading and dropping some weight for the JMT ‘19.
