Backpacking Gear Loadout - Sawtooth Wilderness

Backpacking gear review of what I'll be bringing along on my backpacking adventure into Idaho's Sawtooth Wilderness in July. Starting at Tin Cup Hiker Trailhead by Pettit Lake we wind our way through the mountains coming out at Iron Creek Campground. The backpacking list was put together for a 5 days / 4 nights adventure, but I was able to complete in 4 days / 3 nights. A truly amazing adventure!

⚖️ Final/total weight at trailhead: 16.6 lbs.
