3 | One person 8 day PCT backpack in Washington with food and water | |||||
4 | Torres del Paine | This list with a few tweaks is also what we used for Patagonia. There we bought food when possible, so carried less. No cell phone due to no coverage. Always got water from refugios or camps except once. Then used tablets as water was cloudy. Used every clothing item. | ||||
