Heading into the Sierra on the Pacific Crest Trail means snow, creek crossings, and unpredictable weather. Here’s my 2025 super ultralight Sierra gear list — everything I carried through the most intense section of the PCT. Sub-base weight, dialed insulation, and smart choices for the snow and cold.

Whether you’re early season or peak snow, this gear list will help you go lighter without sacrificing safety.

Gear covered in this video: • Sleep system • Shelter setup • Bear can strategy • Layering for cold/snow • What I ditched from the desert

Here's an interactive map of the 250 million acres of public land the Republicans in Congress are trying to sell to the highest bidder. If this happens it's possible the PCT won't exist anymore. As you can see on this map if you zoom in, they're selling a disconnected checkerboard of land, making it so that even the land they aren't stealing from us won't be able to be used for recreation.

I don't mean to be a bummer, but people need to know about and be angry about this if we're going to stop it.
