Post PCT Gear Review | What Worked & What Didn't on my Pacific Crest Trail Thru Hike!

In 2025 I thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, all 2653 miles of it, from Mexico to Canada. In this video I review all of the gear that I took with me on the trail (minus electronics - that's a separate video!) from my tent and my backpack to my sun hoodie and socks. I'll share whether or not I used the items much, how they performed, and if I swapped them out or bought alternatives.
