Here is my big three for my 2024 Appalachian trail thru hike! Thank you so much for tuning in! 


First off, I apologize for the background noise. 😬 I do live on a busy road, and though I bought a cheap microphone to try and alleviate that issue, it was cheap for a reason and will be going back to Amazon. I will be looking for a quieter filming location for future videos 😅


Secondly, gosh is it hard to remember everything you want to say about something! My Big Three come in at roughly 8lbs and retails for ~$865. I spent about $360 because I was fortunate enough to receive my quilt in a giveaway. Thank you, thank you, thank you to @MirandaGoesOutside and Garage Grown Gear!! 


Potential gear changes: Like I said I have faith in my tent, but only time will tell. I may add a sleeping bag liner and/or down booties if I find that my quilt does not keep me warm enough. I'm going to work on patching my sleeping pad, but I could end up switching. I know some people never get holes in their XLite, and I know some people have to patch it constantly. We shall see. 


Pack: REI Flash 55 Women's

Tent: Naturehike Cloud-Up 1 Person Tent 

Sleeping pad: Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite (I have the women's version which is no longer available)
