I'm 5'4" and BigFish is 6'2". We've also estimated a 5:3 ratio on our steps. However, in rocky stretches, my 8.5-size feet can usually step between the rocks and his 14s have to step on them or...

What size? Preference on left zip or right zip?
I have a 5'6" Highlite (1/2 zip on left) I may want to sell.
I hiked the PCT NOBO last year and we vaguely heard about the fires down south, but we were preoccupied with the fires up north. Taking a closer look at this Lake Fire closure, I'll say that's a...
The section from Lower Shake to Hikertown was wonderful! Lots of big oaks and shade - enjoy that section before you hit the aquaduct (which has its own set of, ahem, charms).
Correction - Vasque Mantras are 8.5 wide.
Most thru-hikers or Sierra lashers pick up their bear canister at Kennedy Meadows south and get rid of it at Sonora Pass (Kennedy Meadows north). If memory serves, the southern point at which a bear...
Nothing says "buy my gear!" like a dancing banana...
All shoes are women's. I googled these to see what the going rate is out on the interwebs. Pricing is competitive and accounts for wear.

Are Brook's Cascadias still one of the "favored" trail runners for a PCT thru? I continue to lament the extinction of the Montrail Hardrocks (07/08) that carried me on my AT thru-hike in 2009.
I...
I used the CS1 on my AT thru-hike in 2009. Love, love, LOVE it and it's still going strong. Even the duct tape I used to patch a cinder burn has stuck through 5 years of use :). Quick set-up; near...

as someone who regretfully did not stay at the happy hiker hollow in 2009 and as someone who stayed somewhere else in atkins, i respectfully advise hikers to stay at the hollow. learn from my...

(yes, i know these are not 6 distinct brewing styles, but who doesn't like to put in their 2 cents about beer? and, obviously, i'm an ipa freak.)

i actually bought a MH guy's kilt at full price and it was worth *every penny.* the MH girl's hiking skirt doesn't (or, didn't, as the case may be) have enough pockets and i didn't like the feel of...
i did my thru last year (2009) and turned 40 on the trail. i was 10 years out of grad school and was able to gather a nice nest egg and take a leave of absence. (i hesitate to call myself "pre"...
don't have it yet, but intend on getting "2,178" across the top of my right foot. i've been told that a foot tattoo takes a bit of time to heal (at least a week or so). have to find a week when i...
