Chris’ gear for the Pacific North-West Trail
My good friend Chris Townsend is off shortly on another of his epic backpacking trips. This time he’s off to hike the fledgling Pacific North West Trail in the USA - a mere 1200 mile long. I asked him what gear he was thinking of taking with him?

Hi,
Very nice video and good ideas on that to evaluate for the future. One questions though. Food was not mentioned, what is Chris planning to regarding food for 1200 miles?

Cameron - Thanks for sharing the video of Chris with us. Having hiked the PNT myself in 2007 I am excited to hear more about Chris’ journey. - Sam

Thanks guys - Chris will be reporting on a regular basis from the trail on the TGO website. He’ll be leaving the UK for the Pacific North-West in early August

Looks great, love the wood stove. No rain pants or did I miss it? I have to say I’m fond of that idea. Was also surprised at no long johns. Will encourage me to experiment a bit. Cheers for the video.

2010 GoLite Pinnacle - check.
Inov-8s - check.
Ti-Tri Inferno - check.
I still got to get a windshirt, and also I’d like to get a Rab Demand Pull-On. Also these Pod Stuffsacks look like a good investment. A Tilley hat is on its way to me, and I love my GoLite quilt, and think Chris will too =)
Great post, Cameron & Chris!
