Pacific Crest Trail Hikers Gift Guide

Here is a selection of must-have holiday gifts for the Pacific Crest Trail Thru-hiker or Section Hiker in your family. Chances are they’re busy saving for their next long-distance adventure, and we can pretty much guarantee they have a long list of items on their wish list. This collection of thru-hiker and backpacking gift ideas is a good place to start. We’ve listed a variety of gift ideas, from technical backpacking gear to treat-yourself dehydrated meals, to unique gifts that will help commemorate their adventures.

11. Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter

The Sawyer Squeeze is the most popular water filter used by long-distance hikers, and the thru-hiker in your life could always use another one. It’s lightweight, has a fast flow rate, and is guaranteed for thousands of liters. Hikers also love that it can thread onto many standard water bottles, so you can drink straight from the filter. While there are several Sawyer options on the market, we recommend the original. It has a faster flow rate and longer lifespan than the smaller models.

Hadi sasa, nimekamilisha maili 1400 za AT na ninatumai kukamilisha sehemu zote kati ya Georgia na Maine siku moja. Pia nimepanda thru-hiked Changamoto ya TGO (Coast-to-Coast kote Scotland) mara mbili na kwa sasa nina sehemu ya kupanda njia ya Cape Wrath, pia huko Scotland.
