Prepping gear for my 455 mile unsupported hike across Oregon.

These are the gear preparation steps I'm taking before setting out to attempt to set an unsupported Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Oregon section of the Pacific Crest Trail.

Pre-spraying your clothes with insect repellent is genius! Best of luck on your journey!

I really hope you stay safe and have lots of fun but please be careful posting your exact route. Also maybe delay the updates at least a few days so people don’t know exactly where you are on the trail in real time. It’s sad to say but some folks out there are crazy nowadays and your safety is very important. Hope you have an amazing time!

I have just got the same shoe Hoka Mafate speed 4 in purple + aqua blue and hiked up in Chamonix, France on some steep trails with lose rocks and snow crossings. They are super grippy and it’s the first time ever my feet are not tired at all. Thank you for the recommendation 🫶🫶🫶

I eat cold all the time. Protein shakes, bars, and jerky, that's it for me. I carry just 200 grams of food per day. I weigh 90 kg and never feel hungry. My gaiters are those used when mowing lawns. I wear sports knee-high long socks. Gaiters just make my legs sweaty.
I'm on a 1000 thru hike in Western Australia, two days left, with rain forecast. Contemplating when to get out of my buvvy.
