A long time friend and myself have recently decided to begin planning an 07 PCT thru hike. I'm hoping some people with PCT experience can point me in the right direction.
IE: guidebooks, personal experiences, when to start, what to bring, etc.
I hiked half of the AT in 05 and decided to get off due to a lack of interest in the trail/experience itself once I left the south.
I hiked below 40 lb's the entire trip, and after Georgia my pack was rarely over 32. I've hiked in heavy snow all my life, and it shouldn't present an immense challenge, but I'd still like to avoid it- esp. at altitudes over 7000 feet.
Feel free to brain fart.
