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.\r\n\r\nYeah, those are the pants I was talking about. You can get them at [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Body-Wrappers-Ripstop-Pants-Black/dp/B0002UR7SQ/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1518597188\u0026amp;sr=8-6\u0026amp;keywords=dance+pants) 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.\r\n\r\nI 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.","subreddit_name":"Ultralight","author":"chrisbenson"},{"body":"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](https://www.amazon.ca/Body-Wrappers-Ripstop-Pants-Black/dp/B0002UR7SQ/) -- 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","subreddit_name":"Ultralight","author":"ryanhikes"},{"body":" [Dance Pants](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002UR7SQ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_13Q0R0MGK3DPA0SA5Y9W?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1) are a great cheap and lightweight wind pant.\r\n\r\nI prefer to have a separate set of sleep clothes that I don't hike in on a regular basis.

Medium fits with room to spare. \r\n\r\nCamp sandals! I just bought some [Xero Shoes DIY Sandals](https://xeroshoes.com/shop/outsoles/diy-feeltrue/). You will measure your feet to order the right size. I'm a size 8 normally. I cut the soles to size since I have less wide feet. I did a slightly heftier lace pattern. Total weight ended up being 148g. I'm pretty pleased with that.

Analyze absolutely every piece of gear that you plan to take. Even a few extra ounces can add up to bodily wear-and-tear over hundreds of miles. I recommend you head over to r/Ultralight and read some PCT shakedowns to get a sense of what people bring. Or, try [HalfwayAnywhere](https://www.halfwayanywhere.com/pacific-crest-trail-survey/) to peruse the gear surveys of former PCT hikers.\r\n\r\nI struggle with acne, and sleeping on a dirty pillow (aka \"a bug head net stuffed with my daytime hiking clothes\") sure doesn't help matters. Before I go to bed each night, I make sure to wash my face, and then I apply a little Clearasil from a tiny eye dropper bottle. (For all you scoffing right now: acne is painful, and it gets infected. It's not a purely cosmetic issue.)\r\n\r\nThere are many UL tents to choose from. I think most people buy an expensive Dyneema tent to hike the PCT, but you can also find cheaper silnylon versions which are still quite light. I love the roominess of my Lanshan Pro 1P by 3F UL Gear. I also hear good things about The One by Gossamer Gear and the Nemo Hornet, but I haven't personally tried them. There are also \"two-person\" tents if you and your friend plan to share, however many of them aren't wide enough to accommodate two sleeping pads side-by-side. Check the dimensions before you buy.\r\n\r\nI don't use a footprint. If I'm setting up on gravel or desert pokey things, I'll lay my poncho under my sleeping pad for some added protection.\r\n\r\nAs for shorts, I wear [Sandy River 5\" inseam by Columbia](https://www.columbia.com/p/womens-sandy-river-shorts-AL4573.html). I don't particularly love them, but they have a lot of pluses: no inner liner, they don't ride up, there are three pockets, and they dry quickly.
