Everything I Carried on the Appalachian Trail in 2022
The Compilation of Gear for my 2022 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike
This layout isn’t perfect for everyone, but it worked really well for me. I have my initial gear list posted on my profile if you’d like to see how everything changed over the 2,200 miles.
Let’s start with the big stuff:
Shelter
Zpacks Plex Solo
4/5 stars
14 oz -$600
Notes: I loved this tent! The DCF material was sturdy and it only got one small hole (repairable with the tape included in the tent). My only complaint was the splashback that occurred under the vestibule and into the cabin. The tarp doesn’t quite touch the ground so if it rains hard, expect some drops on you!
Sleep System
Quilt:
Enlightened Equipment Revelation 10-degree quilt
5/5 stars
24.10 oz -$335
Notes: WARM. Probably overkill in the summer but when it started getting cold in Maine, the “Brrrrr’s” were eliminated in this guy. If you have the budget, I would suggest a summer/winter bag or quilt option for your excursion!

If you have some that isn’t pre-treated with permethrin, you can buy some to spray on your own netting/clothing before use.

“We tested this bug repellent on park outings and used it for a long day of yard work. It earns high marks for effectiveness, keeping us protected from any bug bites, even despite exposure to sweat,” The Spruce says.
