AZT Thru-Hike: What I Ate as a Vegan
In this post you’ll find a big list of the vegan meals/snacks I ate on my AZT thru-hike. I hiked with a pocket rocket stove and 750ml pot.

Background on My Diet
Thru-hike Preparations
A Note on Zero-Waste

Review: March-May 2019
Today I sat down to look at the past two weeks (it’s been three weeks now since I finished the trail!), reflect, and try to bring some focus to the coming month.
A very brief trail recap for some context: My two months on trail in Arizona were filled with much joy, calm, sunshine, gratitude, connection with nature, face-to-face connection with humans, and daily journaling.

AZT Thru-Hike Packing List
So that I could unpack, clean, and put away my thru-hiking gear, yesterday I made a video showing what was in my pack (below). I tried to make it accessible and keep beginners in mind when offering explanations.
If you don’t need that sort of detail or walk-through, simply scroll down for lists (and photos) of what I brought along on the hike.
