The Real Hiking Viking’s Ultralight PCT Gear List

In case you missed it, the dynamic duo of The Real Hiking Viking and Zach Davis (our Editor-in-Chief) are hitting the PCT SOBO…. in T-minus one day. We coerced Viking into telling us what he’s packing for his third attempt at the PCT, and he agreeably complied. His gear is ultralight, comfortable, and minimal. This guy’s got it dialed.
