Post Trail Appalachian Trail Gear List! | 13 Pound Base Weight

I hiked all 2,193 miles of the Appalachian Trail from Feb. 22nd, 2021 - June 23rd, 2021.
I spent everyday on the AT thinking about gear and made changes constantly. In this video, I show everything I had with me when I finished the trail.

This is the first full gear video I've watched in a long time. Thanks Taylor! Stoked to have you on Trail Tales next week 🤙

[@frolege1]

Cool ... 2 of my favorite hikers together for an interview. Look forward to it.

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

Woo hoo! I'm looking forward to that!

[@stephenpinder9567]

Enjoyed you and Stretch immensely. Great hike and great documentation. Hope to see some future adventures down the trail.

[@frolege1]

I drop by the REI in NYC this past weekend and ran into an AT Thru-hiker from Indiana who was taking a double zero in city. After getting a few items, she was jumping on the Staten Island ferry to get a close up view of a Lady Liberty and then heading over to view the Macy's July 4th Fireworks ... than back on trail July 6. She was wearing her backpack in the city ... kind of funny !!!!

[@padude131]

Nice to have my morning coffee watching your videos again! You did an awesome job hiking and vlogging your thru hike! Can't wait to see your next adventure.

[@michaelrenshaw4021]

I felt like I was hiking the A.T. thru your videos, now that you've accomplished that amazing journey I actually feel a little bit of the "Hiker Blues" that I've heard long distance hikers sometimes get. Your videos were terrific and informative, just what I needed to motivate my butt into attempting my own thru-hike next spring. Thankyou!!

Great to see you back!! Miss watching you every morning!! Was a great four months going on your AT adventure with you and Stretch.💕

[@artyk3851]

Very informative. Enjoyed watching your journey this year. Sectioned hike AT in the 70s and 80s. Skipped Rocksylvania (I see nothing has changed) the 100 mile wilderness. Always thought I finish but never did. Too old now, so I hike vicariously through vlogs such as yours. Thanks you for the daily post, I will miss them.

[@lindab8774]

Thanks for this gear video and for compiling this list. There is so much information out there, it’s nice to see the gear list on the backend. Will definitely use this as a resource. Congrats again on your hike. Just a tremendous accomplishment.

Hi Taylor I Waited till you were done to watch your thro hike so I could watch them all and not have to wait for A new video. I am really excited. Its a rainy Day so I am going to watch them all in order starting now :)

[@ljf29NH]

Congrats on an awesome achievement, from over here in Ashland. Welcome home, and thanks for all the time you must have spent editing your excellent videos. Happy to see your smiling face this AM, and it's great to get gear info from a True blue thru hiker!

I don't know maybe you already did this in a video, but an interesting video would be the 5 hardest parts of the AT. 😀

Loved watching your trail, injury stopped my nobo this year, so about to start sobo soon and really interested to hear about your backpack video! Zpacks at the moment so we shall see :)

[@russt692]

First of all, congratulations on your thru hike. Was with you the whole way. Thought I heard you mention a satellite phone at one point

[@idmo86]

great job, I would like to see a trip breakdown. How much money was spent on the trip. (the $1,000 a month figure has to be from the 1990's and it seems we all spend more then that. How many nights were in hotels and hostels vs on the trail. How many nights did you spend in a shelter,. (you seemed not to like the shelters). how many zeros, stuff like that.

[@joshwood3]

I just finished my thru a week after Taylor and found the $1000 / month figure quite reasonable. I spent around that on my hike. I was somewhat frugal in the foods I bought for resupply, stayed in a hostel every 4-5 days when available, and bought restaurant food whenever I had the opportunity. I know I saved money though by never staying in hotels unless I split the cost with ~4 others and not going to bars at all since I’m under 21. You could drastically increase the cost by eating freeze dried meals or frequently spending nights in hotels, however I also think you could go a bit cheaper by skipping some of the town luxuries I indulged in.

[@vinceschulte3907]

Congratulations on your thru hike. That's awesome.

[@Justusson]

Thanks for sharing! 🙏 Would love to see a retrospective video on the experience you gained and got out of the trip and the different segments of the journey. Well done! Thoroughly impressed (and a bit jealous - though without begrudge ☺️)! 👍

[@OntheWrightPath]

I like the pre-trail gear lists. It shows what you learned over the course of your hike.

[@billcompton6050]

Congrats on completing the trail The gear stuff is something to always work on Thank you Da Breeze

[@roseyviews]

Taylor, I am an old guy. I really enjoyed your videos. I no longer wonder what the AP trail would be like . Maine was the toughest by far. I appreciate your dedication and perspective. No rocket science just for the heart observations.

[@roseyviews]

Thank you for being so open and real. I was very entertained.

[@adamlinford]

great series, watched them all, congrats for completing and thanks for your dedication in sharing it with us all every day. So what's the next hike? ;)

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Thanks Taylor! I actually watched this EVEN though I'm about to embark on our Ice Age Trail hike in 2 days, and I can't change anything now! lol I love how LOW your base weight was!! So low. ALSO - I love the AT hoodie you're wearing!!!! Can you share where you got? Thanks girl! -- Chica

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

Thanks!! I hope you have a blast on the Ice Age trail! I'm so excited for you guys! I got the hoodie on my zero day in Hot Springs at the gear shop there. Then sent it home the next day with some of my winter gear haha

[@valane178]

Great video! Loved following your journey through to summit day. Your videos were our after dinner show. I just love your hoodie. Can you tell me where you got it?

[@paulkenny267]

Suggest you do a video soon with Stretch! Where is he? How did the AT impact on his life? I have to believe if you got along so well on the Trail, you have an emotional connection to him as he does to you. Yours subs will enjoy see you both together talking and if you go "live" so many will watch and have comments and questions! FYI, I live in log home at Twin Mountain so your NH journey is well known to my girlfriend and myself!

[@hdbinnc8583]

Really great information. Your base weight was less than I expected it to be. It would be interesting to see the cost of the gear you used minus the video equipment. That would be helpful in planning for the journey, thanks for your willingness to share. I am really proud of you and Stretch.

[@E.I.C.C_Onwer]

Looking forward to the backpack video! 4 packs is crazy lol 🤣

[@gratefulhikes]

Hey Taylor! So good to see you. Great video and great load out. Very close to mine, minus the stove. It really does take time to shake down your gear. Especially when there is new gear coming out daily, or you are hiking faster than the change of the seasons! One question I have is did you wash your quilt at all while on trail? I can’t wait for your next gear video showing us what you will be taking on your PCT thru hike 😉 that is going to be epic! Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well. #giveashit -Grateful

[@lisaweppler1669]

Hey Taylor, So happy for you and your Summit. It was a pleasure to watch you hike. I have a question, why do most backpackers carry their tent stakes and poles on the outside of there pack? I have seen this alot and as a newer backpacker I usually keep min stuff together. Just wondering? Peach.

[@terrycooke7930]

Loved your videos! Thanks for posting your hike! It was awesome. Congratulations!! Didn’t you wear a Melazana hoodie? Maybe I missed it, if you sent it home. I only noticed, because I’ve been trying to find one…. Which is nearly impossible unless you pay three times the asking price. How did it work for you?

[@devildog7602]

I so miss that beautiful smile. Congratulations again to you and Cody on your successful 2018 thru hike of the AT!! Now get that tattoo and start planning your next thru. PCT, CDT or SOSB AT -- I don't care -- I NEED YOU TO KEEP POSTING!!! :)

[@BulletproofIndustries]

I loved your adventure!! I watched them all almost! It would be great to meet and hike together one day. I’m actually planning to do the Appalachian Trail with my son but he’s only two now sooooo. The wait continues…. Thank you for the great videos and just being genuine! C u soon one day! 😃

[@dwaynefradd778]

Thank you for bringing us along with you on your thru hike, I enjoyed every minute ! Have you decided what gear you and Cody are going to use on the PCT ? lol

[@rumblechick73]

Wondering if you kept any kind of a financial journal and can break down the total cost including gear, food resupplies, in-town expenses, etc? Not being too nosy I hope!

[@libbyhagen7397]

Someone who is thru hiking right now and has posted monthly cost updates is Wizard on the trail. Check his videos, they’re short and to the point, he just posted his month 4 expenses video.

[@rumblechick73]

@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker Looking forward to that one!

[@efehler]

Thanks, Taylor! I love all your videos! I’m glad you’re doing some post-trail ones. Could you do an episode to summarize what you ate and how you cooked? Did you use the jet boil just for boiling water or did you cook meals in it? The only thing I “cook” is boiling water because I hate the clean up! But I’m not sure if that’s a sustainable solution for a long trail.

[@colonelrader6122]

Absolutely amazing! Well done.

[@dorothyscheines3194]

i would love to see a detailed video about your hiking clothes!

[@Jaysus145]

How did the Petzel Bindi work for you while night hiking? I have the same one and sometimes wonder if it would be bright enough? I really wish it was USB-c and I think I would like a second, brighter, red light option. Anyway, great list, thanks for sharing.

[@Ladythyme]

If I wore the same clothes day after day as much as you did I probably be tempted to burn them when I got home! Lol

How about a video on just your equipment failures. My longest hike has been two weeks years ago. I’ve got a bunch of new and old gear that I’m a little concerned about. Prepping for the PCT. BTW, I do have the Arc Air backpack among my gear list…

how do you like the arc air? i have one of the 60L Robic ones ordered that should be here in a month or so.

@S M we’re good :-)

[@outnaboutontheat7876]

Thanks so much Taylor! I've got my pack pretty lined in for 2022 thru hike. Wondering about your sleeping bag liner. Did you end up using that much? I did a shake down in April in MN and it got down to 15 degrees at night, I was so happy to have a blanket / liner but not sure if I'll need it for the AT. I plan to leave first week of March 2022. Thanks!! -Andrea

[@pauldonathan5316]

Thank you for the after hike gear review Taylor. 2 questions, did u sweat much in the zpacks rain top? And the saucony shoes, were there extra room in the tips, and did they slip any bouldering Katahdin? I really liked your thru hike and will watch stretches next. Looking forward to your next video...

[@charliejg]

Cool beans! Congratulations on completed the AT. I like your new channel banner. Who came up with the slogans? :-)

[@bradjohnson-dupre4901]

[@misterb1496]

Appreciate the info, looking forward to your upcoming videos. Is it weird being in one place for so long now that you're home?

[@Hobomountainwander]

14 lbs is a solid base wieght. I really liked the Hyper Mountain Lyte pack, but I didn't like be able to strap my Fly Creek on top. And my other con was no load lifters. I did like the solid material of the pack and the pockets were deffiently roomy for me. The mesh and interior of the bag was roomy, too.

[@kaleblazer4764]

Hi Taylor, it doesn’t look like you used a sleeping bag liner. What are your thoughts on a liner? Would u have ever needed it with your 10 degree quilt? Would it have been worth it for cleanliness? How tall are you and did you get the 6’ or 5’6” quilt? Is there any benefit to having one long enough to put over your head?

[@danielcluley870]

Congratulations and cool video. I thought for sure you were going to switch out the 10 degree bag for a lighter/lower temp one. Cool thing about those styles of bags are their versatility in many different temps/weather.

[@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem]

maybe im wrong but i dont understand the hype about quilts other than being lighter than most mummy bags. ive got a WM versatile and it is a full zip except for about the last 6 inches of the foot box, so im able to open it up the same way as a closed footbox quilt, but if its fully zipped its guaranteed to be warmer than a 10F quilt. one pro argument for quilts ive seen is that they have pad straps so drafts are minimal compared to an unzipped sleeping bag which has no straps. that one is a moot point though, because if im hot i want drafts, if i dont i zip up. also, since they have no hoods often times people bring like 2 extra pieces of head warming gear, so the weight for the sleep system is often times very close to a mummy bag if not more. maybe ill try a quilt at some point, but in my opinion they are actually less versatile, because my bag can open up to keep me cool but its also a mummy bag that can keep me zipped up and warm in a blizzard. i winter camp mostly though, so that certainly sways my opinion towards mummy bags. if i was a summer camper, i probably would go with something like a 12 ounce 50f EE Enigma quilt.

[@danielcluley870]

@@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem I don't think you are wrong in general, but I live in Florida, so the full zip is a huge plus. It really depends on your weather. I personally have several bags/quilts. My go to favorite is a Feathered Friends Flicker UL 30. I also have a 20 degree mummy bag, a 40 degree quilt, and an old north face cat's meow mummy that I don't really use anymore. For general hiking the FF Flicker is one of my favorite pieces of gear when combined with a hooded puffy. You get benefits of a full bag and a quilt, but way more versatile, IMHO. If I was going on a colder weather hhike or higher altitude hike I would probably take the mummy though.

[@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem]

@@danielcluley870 yeah i looked into buying the FFF UL 30, it looks like a pretty good option

[@stevenmpeter]

Hi! Thanks for putting all the work and dedication that it must take to post vids the whole way thru! Question, did you really blow up you pad every night? Any thought about getting a pump sack?

[@kaleblazer4764]

Hi Taylor, congratulations on completion of your through hike. I've enjoyed watching each video and looking forward to the post videos (especially the backpack review). Did you think it was worth the weight to have the jet boil stash compared to something lighter like the BRS 3000T? Can you explain your thoughts on this? I have each type of stove and the jet boil is awesome because it is so quick but I saved a lot of weight by going to the BRS.

[@annajo1963]

Thank for taking the time to put the video together it really helps. What about the temperature gauge you had on your backpack?

[@handwerkerausleidenschaft574]

Hey Taylor, you could be proud of finishing the AT, well done. What was the capacity in liter or gallons of your backpack?

[@philipplouffe9041]

Great --did I miss what you used for sleeping pad?

[@kellycarlen9605]

She mentioned it as a Neo Air X Lite. Didn’t give any specifics though.

[@Raveler1]

Taylor, I missed the end of your trip due to a short backpacking trip of my own in the San Juans - but I really appreciate your gear list! You said in one of your last videos that the Katadyn filter you were carrying had really reduced in flow rate. Have you been able to correct that? Or is it something that just needs to be replaced?

[@johnalden5821]

I have a similar question: Did you just use the one filter over the course of the AT, or did you have to replace it at some point before you finished? I am really interested in the Katadyn but would like to know if there is a way to back-flush it or, if not, how long it lasts.

[@meadowlarkphoto]

I really like the AT shirt you are wearing in this video. Do you have a link to that as well? -Leigh

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

Thanks! I got it at the gear shop in Hot Springs, NC

[@danielstoddart]

I also ditched my pillow and now use my clothing bag with a buff wrapped around it. I don't really notice any difference while sleeping and it's one less item to carry.

[@aaronoutdoors7556]

Taylor did you follow a guide like the awol one? You seemed to have you days planned out really well. Im doing the trail in 2023 and am starting to plan but don’t know how to lay out my days like you did.

Love the video! I've also been debating about switching to a Hyperlite pack. Random question...what is the song in the background?

[@journeywith_me7787]

Great video. No need for a pack cover with the pack liner and dry bag? What thermometer did you start with?

[@MrsJoyism]

Where'd you get the little tube of soap? I tried using an eye dropper for camp suds once, and mistook it in the dark for my regular eye drops. A different form factor would be good.

[@pattimccullough7607]

Great feedback! Since you mentioned Burgeon, I’m wondering if you know anything about how their hoodie compares to your melanzana one.

[@esciteach7997]

how can 9 people not like this video? due to physical limitations I can not hike the A.T. but so fascinating to see the items carried. Surprised no soap, deodorant, hand wipes and masks for in towns (Covid) or shampoo. Also just guessing you had ladies "necessities", and one or two credit cards (which I carried on a strap inside my shirt a/la Europeans and U.S. travelers.). But congrats again and thank you for these vids.

[@brobin66]

Taylor… I just have to say that I loved following you on your through hike. It was a few minutes of zen each morning. Maybe I missed it but why did you swap out your tent?

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

I swapped to my semi free-standing tent in MA because I knew a lot of the upcoming tent sites were on top of wooden platforms and I get pretty frustrated setting my duplex up on those.

[@pattypatten1626]

Was Callie going nuts when she seen you again? 🙂

[@MichaelDelaware]

Two questions. When you weighed your base weight, did you include your fuel cannister? Also, how often did the Garmin watch require charging? I have an older one that just expired, and I used to have to charge that one aboout once a week.

[@padude131]

I'm pretty sure that most people don't include fuel canisters or alcohol ( for an alcohol stove) in their base weight.

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]
