In this episode:Blissful is taking a new Gossamer Gear ultralight "Gorilla" pack and "The One" tent on this thru-hike.Also an Ursack XL Major to keep grizzlies from nosing into her food which was a compromise to get the bigger bag at 15 liters but not critter impermeable.New aluminum LEKI Cross Trail trekking poles will hold her upright as well as her tent.Really special on trail are merino tops from Ibex - two hoodies of different weights as well as a T-shirt. Merino manages temperatures, wicks moisture and never stinks!Favorites of all long trails are Balega "Enduro" socks and La Sportiva Akyra trail runners as well as gel toe separators. New additions to her personal items include the superb antimicrobial Kula Cloth pee rag as well as Leukotape, “a backpackers secret weapon." Thanks to Sawyer, Blissful was able to make a gravity-feed water filtration system and save her arthritic hands from squeezing. FULL GEAR LIST HERE! MUSIC: Introduccion y allegro by Carlos Guastavino as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano. Support the show
