Hi everyone! Hope this video is helpful to you. The main takeaway for me is that it's not actually all about having the best and lightest gear (as some of the blogs and research out there may tell you). It's about having gear you like, that works for you, and that allows you to live outside for days on end. Do what works for you and who cares what anyone else thinks! 😊

Luxury Item: Full size tooth brush.... That totally cracked me up. Thanks!!!!

[jackmorning]

One of the better gear reviews. Now I have to go back and watch your hike!

I would absolutely bring what I think I would need in lots of bags! I have been on too many camping trips where I thought I could leave something at home and always ended up needing it ! 😀

... “who cares what anyone else thinks”, absolutely, Mari 👊😎...

Great video Mari! I would love to here about Nick's backpack aswell since there isn't much information about it online :)

Luxury items are just the best :D Recently I switched my air pillow to a down pillow from Therm-a-rest (stuffed with my fleece) and I love it so much. Now it feels almost like home. I'm also carrying an essential oil blend roll-on stick that smells like mint. It calms and helps against headaches.

Enjoy your videos. I look forward to the rest of your hike. Blessings

I love watching anything PCT related and you are so pleasant to watch/listen to. I'm going back to Campo tomorrow night and hiking to Julian as a physical training hike and test the cold weather clothes because it will be 25 degrees at night and a chance of light snow. I live 40 miles (as the crow flies) from the 400 mile mark of the trail

Hello Mari, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing your very informative video. I really enjoyed it. I wish you all the very best on your future endeavors. Take care, be safe and always have fun. 🤗

Thanks Mari! Me and my girlfriend are getting ready to hike the PCT this year and your videos have been so helpful!

[david-xzi]

You can’t tell me not to watch this video because of spoilers in it for us (me) who watches all of your videos right away lol. Imma going to watch it anyways 🤪 can’t wait, my hike is coming very quickly (March 10th)

[Swimdeep]

I think the peace of mind is worth the extra weight. Thanks for going over every little thing.

Great video Mari! I've been enjoying your journey, you have such a great style and you're so real, which makes it great to watch. I'm almost 65 and still hoping to hike the PCT some day...
