The equipment of twofeetadventures

When we started the first Thru-Hike of the Eifelsteig in 2020, we hiked with a basic weight (without provisions and water) of between 12 and 15 kilos. In the meantime, we reduced the weight to about 8 kilos. We got rid of unnecessary things and exchanged various pieces of equipment for light or ultra-light ones.

In the following overview we list our standard equipment. Not all items are completely packed for every tour, but they vary depending on the demands and requirements of the tour. We have marked ultra-light items with a (UL), light items with a (LW). Nevertheless, please note: Our primary goal is not to hike UL, but to reduce our weight as much as possible. A word about ultralight hiking. One speaks of ultralight/ultralight when all the utensils needed for the thru-hike, i.e. including tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, etc., but without water and provisions, have a weight of less than 5 kilos. If the weight is between 5 and 9 kilos, it is called light trekking; anything over that is called traditional trekking.
