Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker Gear
This section is dedicated to helping you find the right gear including tips on how to save money.
Check out the template Appalachian Trail thru-hiker gear list. We also have a host of articles full of great gear advice.
Steep and Cheap offers the best discounts.
The Clymb also has some awesome daily gear deals.
If you live near an REI, definitely check out their Garage Sales. You won’t find better deals anywhere.
*NOTE* REI has implemented a one-year return rule on all items. Still a terrific store, which I shop at almost exclusively, but something to consider for those who shop purely for the terms of service.
