For those starting approx. mid-March - which are quite a few of us - we're basically at the 6 month mark.
I'm pretty ready, working on the food thing now. I've got my gear (or have it on order). Haven't made any travel arrangements yet, I'll hold off there for another couple of months at least.
My one last item of question is raingear. I have a jacket (rain pants that don't fit anymore...lol), packcover. I know from experience that this gear doesn't 'really' keep you dry, it's just a matter of degrees of how wet you're going to get. I guess I'm hoping for a raingear miracle... anyone have one?
Where's everyone else in their planning???
