I wanted to reach out to this group, as I’ve lost all my ultralight backpacking gear when my home burned down in the recent Eaton Canyon Fire here in Altadena, CA. ?I am hoping to return to backpacking this year (I have a start date for the PCT in April).? If you have any ideas for donations, discounts and used gear I’d really appreciate it.? I’ve learned so much from the group and look forward to any help you can offer.? Best, Leslie Frank
 

Thru-r has $1000 grants?for long-distance thru-hikes (over 200 miles) that they are offering which can be applied to gear:

Hi Leslie,

So sorry, that is terrible!!!

What all are you looking for? Might be useful: my kids use these apps for "gift tracking" around holidays, they add links to things and they can be marked "taken"...

Partly wondering where you are atm between "anything workable" and "hoping to replace specific kit I know works well for me" :)

Best regards,
Aaron

I am so sorry you’ve lost everything. My heart breaks for you and your community. I live in the Central Valley, and may have a few things.?

I also have a PCT start date in April!?

Thanks for your suggestions! There are some things that have worked well for me that I'd like to get again, and other things (like the sleeping bag) that I'm open to other options. ?What is the best way to list these things for you all? ?If I use the app you suggested, how can the group see it?
 

There are a bunch of sites that do this online, you will just want to pick one that doesn't require people to make an account

Or you could just give us a list of the gear you lost as a starting point!
