This is my full 2025 Pacific Crest Trail 3 season thru-hiking gear list. Comfort, safety, and full self-reliance at just 4.5 lbs—it is possible. This ultralight backpacking setup is perfect for any summer thru-hike or backpacking trip.

It includes:

A fully enclosed shelter A self-inflating air mattress (more comfortable than the Therm-a-Rest Xlite) 6.5 oz backpack Full rain protection
