The gear that I will be taking with me on each run is shown below. It looks quite excessive all laid out. For alpine runs like The Goat, there are minimum gear requirements which pretty much includes all of the below, minus all the fancy electronics and navigation equipment. What I am not taking with me on these runs that is required on the alpine runs are thermal bottoms and a small first aid kit.
Find below a list of what I will be carrying with me. Train as one intends to fight! Although I do enjoy minimalist running with nothing but a car key, the length of the these runs and the remoteness of some of the locations does require a degree of being sensible and being prepared for any scenario.
And so it begins!
See below for a detailed list of what is in the photo:
