    Naproxen. Seems like it works better, and if I'm counting grams (which I'm not) I can carry less.

    Never been in that situation as my wife knew it was something I wanted to do even before we were married, but I want to return to the trail, so I will be looking forward to the responses.

    Tarp/Bivy Question

    Is it necessary to go with the combo of a tarp and waterproof bivy on the AT. I know it's obvious for tarps 6x10 and smaller. But I was wondering if an 8x10 will provide enough protection...

    I'm about 40 pounds overweight, but for me lightening the load is about saving my back and shoulders. Once I'm hiking I lose weight fast and I'm relatively active.

    Caching

    Does anyone have any tips or info on caching food in bear country. I'm looking into doing a two week trip along the Ouchita Trail this december and it seems to be the best option for a resupply.

    I love my cosmic down 20. It has served me well and is a good balance between price, warmth, and weight. On the trail I pack it into a 13L dry sack.

    In Town Motels

    What am I expecting to spend at hotels/motels in California? On the trail on the AT, it seemed rooms averaged 40-60 a night. Is there a culture of splitting rooms on the PCT like the AT?

    Layering

    Two questions:

    First, will I need long pants or can I go with running shorts and a pair of long underwear like I did for the AT? Sierras and the desert are my concerns.
    Second, I have a base tee,...

    Ouchita Trail

    Any thoughts?

    I have one month to have fun between semesters december/january. How difficult is it to resupply? Hitch? Water situation? What's the terrain like? Is there an average pace you did?...
