Cambios

In preparing for the GPT, the primary reference is the GPT manual, which contains useful considerations regarding gear. After having hiked on the GPT for three months(on sections between GPT06 and GPT40, without packraft), we agree with almost all of it, so read that document first. Nevertheless, we wish there had been more example gear lists, to orient ourselves according to which gear to bring. Many GPT gear lists are created by ultralight hikers, which is no wonder, since they put more thought into what they bring. These lists were very helpful, but in recognition of the different hiking styles, I wish there were more gear lists out there. I would describe our hiking style as '''light but not quite ultralight ''' (base weight ~6.5kg3kg/14lbs). We usually can afford to buy the best gear available, without price being too much of a consideration. But we recognize that this is not the case for all hikers. Hiking the GPT with cheaper gear is entirely possible, although it will weigh a little bit more. This review was written in April 2024.

This is a more or less complete list of our gear(some item weights are estimated):
