Top Stoves, Filters, Rain Gear, and More on the Appalachian Trail: 2024 Thru-Hiker Survey
The 2024 AT survey is coming to a close. We’ll be covering the water filters, stoves, rain gear, and so much more in this final post. This post is all about the smorgasbord of smaller gear choices hikers make — including power banks, trekking poles, GPS devices, and more! Keep reading for all the insights and make sure to stick around to the end to find out about a new popular luxury item that made our list for the first time.
This year we collected 389 responses — a huge thanks to everyone who filled out the survey! The data was collected from October through November of 2024 through our survey, which was marketed using our social media platforms, Backpacker Radio, and TheTrek.co. Some responses from previous years were removed, and obvious mistakes in start and end dates were adjusted. No obvious duplicates were found.
