Post AT thru hike gear | what was in my pack after 2,198.4 miles?!

New T-shirt 😊

Ever try sealskinz socks? Great for rain and snow.

Very helpful OG. Looking forward to your video thru hike next year from my recliner in New Orleans.😂❤ Well, maybe your do the PCT.

Thanks, very informative!

I’m questioning my swap out point now…trail will let me know.

Thanks for sharing. Great to know what’s really important to take on trail. Best wishes. Let’s Go!!!!

Thanks OG, was there anything you wish you had with you on the trail and I didn't see rain pants, was that by choice?

Thanks for the gear review. Instead of patching your pack won’t REI replace it under their warranty policy? Your information was very good.

Cute doggie! I really appreciate seeing what gear made it to the finish line. Nice to see that folks do not need all the most expensive gear to complete the AT. Happy Trails!

Wow it felt like you were talking right to me at the end there. Thank you for all the great advice. A lot of it was a good refresher. I know weather plays a big part on comfort and protection. We will be starting 25 Feb. this is why I admire your advice for us. Hope to see you out there. Please follow us.

Perfect example that you don’t need all of the super expensive gear to do the Trail and still meet your needs….and with maybe even a little extra 😊

That was really informative and interesting! One question I thought of when you showed your long pants that you mailed home is I wondered if you ever had to deal with poison ivy since you wore your hiking shorts most of the time? If not, how’d you prevent it from being a problem?

I love the equipment review, OG!!!
Thanks for going into the details! 😎

Great video brother. Thanks for taking time to share this info with us. Lots of good stuff here!

What an outstanding recap of your gear! Excellent suggestions and explanations! You better keep that lucky shirt in rotation :) Thank you for taking the time to go over everything. I bet it would be hard to toss things that you wore (like the shoes that took you to Mama K for example). Looking forward to your next video and, oh my.....your last words made me so excited! I want you to do it again, some do the trail many times!!!!!

Great upload bud, your gear is awesome and you elaborated everything so nicely! 👏

Grace seems very happy to have you home. Your gear got you through but it is clearly well worn! Fun review OG - thanks

Depending on when u bought it, Thermarest will replace the air pad. They have replaced 2 Uber lights for me for the same problem - you just send them a photo of the receipt and pictures of the blown baffles.

Your hiking style is so relaxed and smooth...just like all your gear choices in this video. I had a great time watching your hike over the past five months and miss your updates already... I hope to meet you one day as I live nearby your town, thanks to Ramdino mentioning you as friend...ha ha! I am currently working on section hiking northward on the AT...bit by bit during the Spring and Fall!! 
Aron, you are an inspiration to all AT hikers in my opinion. Look forward to seeing you out there again. Thanks for the ride!

Awesome video OG! Some great practical tips. I’m planning to switch to the quilt and sounds like the 10 degree is the way to go. I like how you packed your camp shoes. I have Xero sandals, but never found a good way to carry them. So, they usually stay at home. Simple fixes. Thanks!

What was the toughest part about your journey?

Super helpful info....Do people carry bear spray at all? Do people always hang their food bags when there is not a bear box? ...Congratulations!!

Nice post hike gear review OG. Not sure if you already commented on it and I missed but wondering how the dog bite is doing? Was up in ME and VT on Monday and Tuesday supporting more hikers.

Thank you OG for all the suggestions ❤ It's really nice to know that thru hike equipment doesn't have to be super expensive 😁 Thank you again for all you've shown me ..I really appreciate it ❤️❣️

HEY!.....You can get a free Thermarest. They will give you a new one because of the blowout.

Nice setup, and congrats! Delamination is covered under warranty. Hit us up, and we will get you a replacement. Unfortunately, with ultralight fabrics that can sometimes happen. But we got you. Hit us

Another great video! How are you making out post trail? I know when I come home from a section I need a few days before I blend back in with “the Muggles” lol. Just curious how you are blending?

Hi! We met on trail in my home state of NJ. We enjoyed your videos so much. We are attempting our thru hike starting in GA this fall since I don’t tolerate heat well and I am a winter hiker backpacker. Then resume NOBO in Feb. what would be one exercise you would say would help the most and what piece of wisdom could you share for 50+ backpackers? Thank you, Mary

thanks og

Very informative and renewed my interest in attempting this someday, knowing you don’t need so much and expensive items. I love simplicity!

Now that you have the Senchi, would you have started the hike with it rather than the bulkier REI fleece?

I have watched a lot of videos and by far yours won me over . I may be in touch with questions lol … Hiking AT this coming year ‘24

Aaron! You can return that thermarest pad for a new one. I had baffles blow after 3 years. It’s pretty much a limited lifetime warranty. They switched mine without question

Rudy do us all a favor my friend never do any show where you don’t have somewhere to bail out quick

Doesn't matter WHAT was in your pack. It's what was in your heart, your mind. THAT'S what gets you there. Stuff is useful and handy, but that's all. Have a good one.

OG - that's not damage, those are WAR WOUNDS :). Your gear served you well and deserves a bit of love. Take care. Odin sends.

Did you treat any gear with permethrin?

This was a great help... I'm planning to do the AT next year. Thanks for sharing.

Did u ever or come across other hikers who suffered from poison ivy/ oak. How were they handling it.

did you have any sleep pants?

Great review!
