Throughout the my triple crown and on other hikes I have learned many lessons. What gear works, what doesn’t, what I need, what don’t need and other valuable lessons. My hiking gear lists reflect these lessons and what I’ve learned.

Almost every thru-hiker, section-hiker or weekend hiker has a love affair with gear. Most love to research it, talk about it, use it or buy/sell it! Over the years I have owned my fare share. Each time I go on a new hike I replace something from my last trip. It’s a revolving door of sorts, as none of us starts as an expert and each trail is different. We learn as we go and refine out set up.

I put all my hiking gear lists I’ve used during my many hiking trips and my Triple Crown in the pages below. Read on to find out my Pros/Cons, What worked and didn’t, and what I would do differently next time.
