Soon, I'm embarking on a southbound (SOBO) thruhike of the 2800 mile Continental Divide Trail. In this video, I go through the lightweight gear I'm bringing on this trek. Since I'm starting in Glacier National Park, I will start with an ice axe, microspikes and some other specific snow travel gear that I'll eventually send home. My new pack gives me the option of removing the hipbelt and stay when I want a more ultralight setup, but keeping them attached gives me more comfort on the longer stretches between trail towns and potential long water carries. I'm very happy with the gear I've chosen and although my base weight disqualifies me from labeling this setup as ultralight, I'm excited to see how it performs out on trail!
