Join me for 20 hot and exposed miles on the Pacific Crest Trail, hiking from mile 600 to 620. I talk gear, trail food, and how ultralight backpacking changes everything on days like this. If you’re into super ultralight setups, real trail footage, and honest talk from the PCT, this one’s for you.

This is part of my full PCT thru-hike series. I’m carrying one of the lightest complete packs on trail—including a sub-5 oz shelter and a 6.5 oz backpack with a 4.5 baseweight

Temps were high, terrain was dry, and the ultralight gear made a big difference in getting through it.
