My DIY bag

I'm relatively new to backpacking and distance hiking. I'm also on a tight budget and dislike mass consumerism; so I try my best to up cycle and recycle as much as I can everyday. It is a very conscious choice that I am happy to make from an environmentalist's perspective.

These are the items that I carried for my first solo trip, 73 miles of the PCT.
