Andrew Skurka's Ultralight Hunting Gear

Andrew Skurka is a long distance hiker who hiked, the Appalachian Trail Continental Divide Trail, and Pacific Crest Trail in one fast year of hiking. He is also known for his 4700 mile, ski, raft and hike across Alaska and the Yukon. He's an all around badass athlete and traveler.


Recently I discovered he also does backpack hunts, along the lines of what I want to get into in these next few weeks.

Here is his gear list and blog.

Some notable points that I don't necessary agree with are only 2 pairs of dry socks, a flashlight instead of a headlamp and his use of a 2 season summer sleeping bag in combination with down top and pants in Fall here in Colorado. Check it out and tell me what you think.
