Pack & Pads




 This is the pack I'm planning to use. An Aarn Mountain Magic 55.  It is about three pounds by itself, so it is heavier than many of the packs commonly used for the PCT.   In the picture you can see two small packs, one of the left and one on the right.  These wrap around your body and end up hanging off your chest, it is supposed to help counter balance the weight on your back.  I've got it loaded with about 20 lbs in this picture, which I've been carrying around on training hikes.



 Here is the sleeping pads I'm currently planning to use, the egg carton looking one is torso length, and the thinner rolled up one is body length.  The clear plastic thing is my ground sheet.
