Top Reddit reviews mentioning Ballet & Dance Equipment:
Tent: Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo
You and I are the same build, this is a very inexpensive, light, one pole setup and roomy tent, you + gear no problem, if bought off of backcountry.com during their 20% off sale it’s like $170-180
Wind pants:
$20, 3.5 oz, you’ll want the medium
Trekking Poles: Cascade Mountain Tech Carbon Cork, $45 shipped on amazon
Torso warmth: Walmart> Climate right Cuddlduds fleece set $20 plus a down jacket from Uniqlo.
Pack is super personal, but anything from a 2016 Osprey Exos/ Sierra Designs Flex Capacitor/ ULA pack to a fancier Superior Wilderness Designs Long Haul 40 (definitely recommend based off of reviews here) or HMG (heard mixed things) will do the job.
These are amazing budget options, if you want to upgrade from here feel free but this stuff will handle the JMT no problem.

Body Wrappers Ripstop Pants 3.7oz in LG
​
I don't know how much there is to say about them, order a size up, I use them for wind pants and for sleeping.
Not a thru hiker. But I'm also a female. I love my wind pants from amazon. I wear a medium and they are 95g. Not as light as other options but affordable.
Instead of wipes, you could mail yourself some compressed towels. I have some from daiso that are individually packaged like little candies. But there's also some on amazon. Definitely useful for that time of the month!
Also a PCT 2020 hopeful!
You're welcome! Yeah, the place I linked to for those bottles- they also sell a lot of other small bottles that are great for repackaging other stuff, as well as odds and ends that can save you weight in other places.
Yeah, those are the pants I was talking about. You can get them at Amazon too. I know the waist looks goofy in the pics but it's a normal waist you'd find on any other wind pants, it's just tailored to ride high so a lot of people double it over a few times so it's not around your belly button. It's lightweight material so I don't think it would be too bad with a waist belt but I'm beltless so I can't say for sure.
I use a small xlite too in addition to the thinlight. When the ground is pokey the thinlight can protect the xlite. When it's cold I put the thinlight on top and it helps boost the warmth of the xlite. Sometimes I use the thinlight under my feet.
Cheap and light plus they work well. If you don't like em then you're only out $15-20 rather than $100 for a name brand with essentially no weight difference. I have em, used em, love em. They're in my pack year round.
Here's a link. I can also vouch they work great
> Body Wrappers makes a lot of men's pants available on Amazon. Can I get a link or model name for a recommendation? Thanks.
These aren't "men's" pants... They are dance pants. The listing I got was this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002UR7RC/
I wear a 32x30 and Mediums were fine.
> And is the material going to stick to me?
They are ripstop nylon. If other nylon isn't a problem for you, this won't be either.
> I'm looking for something that can double as sleep pans to keep me (ick) off my quilt.
Lots of people use them as sleep pants.
Capezio makes dance shorts. I have their straight across and boy short. I think I'm up to 2x Vfront, 3x straight across black, 1x purple, 1xtan/nude https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002KIBLI0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_rQcNCbDAK14VC
I size up 1 size from my regular to avoid panty lines since I'm not wearing them over a leotard.
They are actually yoga shorts! Super freaking comfy and super great for under a skirt!
The Tachyons are great but expensive. I got them used on /r/ulgeartrade to save some dough.
If you want to try out windpant life without dropping a bunch of $$$ I suggest going for the Bodywrapper Dance Pants, they're 3oz and cost like $25. They're pretty popular on this sub, you can find a bunch of reviews by searching around.
Yes! The heels are Pleaser, Style ADORE-1020SHG. 7" Heel. You can’t really tell in the photo but they are blue/purple iridescent with a black heel. The pole I purchased off Amazon. Pole
the body wrappers ones on amazon that everyone raves about so frequently here.
A lot of people like the dance pants on amazon for an inexpensive option. I am 5'6 150lbs and the size medium is perfectly baggy on me.
I've also been using the Body Wrappers Dance Pants. Not the most durable, but cheap enough to try out the concept.
Have you looked if amacon.com ships these to norway? They are well regarded here and I like them as well even though I only ever used them on two daytrips.
Yes, but usually find them slightly cheaper on Amazon
awesome! cowboy camping is one of the great joys of the PCT, most nights you won't even need a tent especially with a May start. for the same weight as your polycro i'd get a 3x7' piece of tyvek, it is more durable and can be folded into a sitpad. dance pants are Bodywrappers nylon warm up pants -- they run a but small so size up. i'm 6'4" and wear XL and mine weigh 3.8 oz, M or L are closer to 3 oz
Dance Pants are a great cheap and lightweight wind pant.
I prefer to have a separate set of sleep clothes that I don't hike in on a regular basis. For me, it's more comfy (I've brought a cotton tank just to sleep in), keeps my bag 'cleaner', and it's nice to have something dry to change into for camp/sleep.
I keep them handy in case members of a rival gang show up and we need to settle things with a dance off.
ECWCS long john bottoms are cheap; I run on the warm side and dance pants are enough for 30F
I got my first pole a few months ago off Amazon, I have some rooms with 9 ft ceilings and some with 12 so I needed something that would extend further too. The pole I got fits 9ft ceilings perfectly but you can get the extender for it which I have heard works great if you need it to go even higher. Here’s the link
Back in my college days we had something like this in or apartment
I assume this is what you're talking about?
This one has a lock so you can make it spin or not. I'm not 100% sure how that works without having one in front of me.
If you look at the Amazon page, you can get a good idea of what parts they're using, and how big they are.
I think if you made 2 identical bases with bearings in them like the 15" diameter one in the link, 2 of those shearing shafts, and some of the different lengths of pole it could work. It would just be one that only spins and doesn't lock.
It's all metal fabrication though, so your cost might get high.
You can order these dance pants everyone loves from the US, cost me 22€ incl. Shipping to Germany. Worth it!

What do I do about the rest?
Also, about the L-sit.... I'm 5'0" and I feel like my arms are pretty short. Idk if it's cause I haven't done these before, but I just can't bring myself up that high. I feel like to actually get off the ground, I have to use my fingers/finger tips. Is that okay for form or no?

These are what you’re looking for. Cheap, light, packable, and retain a surprising amount of heat for cool nights and mornings at camp. You can give them a DWR treatment and they become pretty capable rain pants as well.
Try the dance pants for $20. Wind pants were a game changer for me. https://www.amazon.com/Body-Wrappers-Ripstop-Pants-Black/dp/B0002UR7SQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=body+wrappers&qid=1613963875&sprefix=body+wrapp&sr=8-3
