Interesting, yes.
But I'm a cynic - I've seen this before. Since he's southbound, I'll let you know if he lasts long enough to meet me. Or maybe if I last long enough to meet him. :)

this is very nostalgic, yet hilarious at the same time. i hope he makes it!
I like the idea and I'm intrested to see how it goes.
I'm interested in following this trip as well. Adding a mule will lessen his burden as far as carrying a load, but adds complexity. Same as using the pioneer gear... This is a big undertaking... I'll be following this one closely!
This is rather cool. The history geek in me is very intrigued.

so i guess he's walking to the trailhead? and sat phone? really not necessary. they call them technological ADVANCES for a reasons. that being said, walking is a bit obsolete nowadays anyway...
well maguire, I'm sure it's a personal thing anyway for him.

Cool project. I learned what pemmican is. :)
Interesting. Not as interesting as Tuba Man, but interesting.:)
In the Wind Rivers during the late 70's we hiked with three brothers and a mule from Leadville,Co who were doing the CDT in three sections. They carried bow and arrow (both flu/flu and fishing rig) to supplement their menu. Though they didn't restrict themselves on clothing or gear their trip was still interesting.
At Big Sandy one brother hitched a ride with us to Rock Springs so that he could go back and pick up their truck. The other two kept on trail and planned on meeting up with him later.
I wish the PCT hiker all the best and plan on following his blog as his adventure unfolds.
