A hiker’s gear list is a constantly changing thing, depending on the trail, the season, and the weather. We like backpacking with a hammock and tarp setup, and have been using one variation or another for over 15 years. This gear list for the Colorado Trail was based on what we used to thru-hike the AT in 2013, with a few adaptations for the different elevations and conditions of Colorado.
