So I made the announcement a couple of months ago that both my 16-year-old son and I will be hiking the Lone Star Hiking Trail this coming March as a way for me to do a gear shakedown of the items I will be taking with me on my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail February 2020.
I am going to list both my items as well as my son’s so you can get an idea of what we will be taking. Since there really are no resupply points along this trail, we will have to carry a lot of food with us. The plan is to complete it in 8 days or less, so that means we will have to average about 12.5 miles a day which I think is really doable for us.
So without further ado, here is our Lone Star Hiking Trail gear list!

Still working on his Lone Star Hiking Trail gear since his gear will be just for the LSHT there will be no reason for him to take everything I am taking. I hope to have his complete within the week, so check back!
