Gröna Bandet - Jeremias Gear Setup
Having gear that fit your needs is important. Since we'll carry all of our stuff on our back for about two months we'll need to have gear that we trust and that we feel comfortable with. And that includes everything from the backpack down to the underwear.
Gear for hiking is in general not hard to find at all, and finding gear that will be good enough is not hard either. But finding gear that you feel comfortable in, that you feel safe with and gear that you can really trust when the weather is not on your side is something else.
We've spent a lot of time thinking about gear, comparing, reading and looking back on previous experiences.

Shorts and shirt is not showed.
This is my personal kit for this particular hike we're embarking on. It's something that will work for me but might not work for you. Be sure you have gear and clothing that you feel comfortable with when you're out hiking.
The tent, food, stove, navigation equipment and fuel is things we'll share so those things we'll divide up in our packs as good as possible.
Would you add or take away any piece of gear? Tell me what you think!
