AT Gear List

When I started out on my Appalachian Trail thruhike, like everyone else, I had no idea what I was getting into and I had a bunch of gear randomly junked together which I changed somewhere around Virginia. I started with a 70 liter pack which is pretty huge and a bunch of crap inside it to fill it up. Even after I had everything in there I still had free space and room. The gear list I have below is what I ended up using for the majority of my hike and it worked for me. It wasn't ultralight but it was light enough to do the trick (although I did carry a bunch fun itens).
