Below is a list of all the gear that I brought on my trip of the West Coast Trail. This was my first backpacking trip, so there is certainly room for improvement in my gear list; however, there actually were not many items I packed that I found I never used, nor were there many items I was without that I wished I had brought. Please note that I do not endorse the specific items that I own or recommend you purchase that brand over another. I hope that you find this this helpful in preparing for your hiking trip!
