If you had two weeks to do a hike of the PCT where would you go?
i saw 12 bears in the SNP and 3 in NJ, go figure both areas that dont have bear hunting seasons.
The ghost dont really bother me but the fact is the shelter is super windy and 1 mile uphill from the water source just a bad idea to stay there.
I guess it doesnt bother me to see it, and I dont do it. I dont feel it ruins anything and I like to read the comments as long as they are positive. I remember this cool shelter that could fit maybe...
break up the guide book and send it to yourself in portions if you really really want to save anymore weight or if you are already doing food drops anyway. If not dont bother and youll be fine. Use a...
+1 on this also with anchovies instead of tuna or smoked oysters.
I never have anything worth writing but I do love to read other peoples. As long as it doesnt hurt the structure, like deep carvings, I think it is fine.
Good list of course but I find that it is best to realize that when you use a shelter it is a shared area and because of that you lose the ability to control what does or doesnt happen. If you are a...
I just bought a new PaHa Que Bear Creek 200 tent I got its for 145 dollars on steepandcheap. Basically I get a new tent every 2 years due to my old tent becoming a leaky mess. I have never heard of...
sweet congrats
I hiked with a guy that walked about 100 miles on a broken foot before getting an x-ray in waynesboro,va. That has got to be a record.
Did this hike a few days back, yes there are some large rocky areas but not more than a 1-2 mile combined, there is an area called the rock maze that is fun, there are alot more small rock sections...
Oh and not one blister with Inov-8, about 30 blisters with the La Sportivas on the heel, instep, and between toes.
Did about 600 miles in the talon 212's and they didnt fall apart unlike the La Sportivas after 700 miles. The tread on the bottom is worn down but I am pretty sure I can get another couple hundred...
Its BYGE "Biggie" and it stands for Build Your Gear & Equipment. Basically I was hiking with a guy that never heard of anyone making thier own gear and wanted to name me MYOG or DYI, but I didnt want...
I am currently in VA about 1
Third done. Winter stuff is at home and my boots fell apart so I'm now rocking the inov8 trail runners. My trail name is BYGE and I am still feeling good. See you on the...
weighed it today and I am all packed and ready to go for my monday start. Its 29.5 pounds so a little less than expected.
I think it was Earl Shaffers gear list. Youd be amazed at the ounces.
In my experience, ticks are more of a problem in April and May in that area. I did the PA grand canyon out there a few times and never saw a tick in fall or late summer. But I am sure there are...
Are you asking if experienced hikers haze new hikers?
I once saw a guy hang his food about 2 feet above his tent, I am not sure what he thought he was accomplishing. Maybe it was an elaborate bear trap. A few people walked by and swatted at it...
Good list, health card with allergens- if you have any serious medical information that people need to know about you look into getting one of those dog tags and wear it around your neck, easy access...

No need for further numbers on my list, no expectations.
I am starting on March 12th, look for me in the registers. I just figure its more realistic not to plan every day but just keep in mind how much food I have and where my next resupply options are. I...
