Introduction

Gear is essential for successful travel in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Sharing our knowledge and experience with different types and brands of gear makes it easier for each of us to find the gear that suits our needs and style of backpacking.

Each element of the Gear List on this guide is being interwinded with the Gear Forum, where you can weigh-in with your experiences and preferences for a particular setup.

At this point in time I am focusing on refining and finishing the constructed elements of the trail guide before completing the gear reviews section.
