    Have you thought about a Garmin InReach device? Or something that would let you send an SOS if you got into trouble. I got one for the Sierra's on my PCT thru hike. It was nice having the peace of...

    I backed into a cactus whilst lighting a stove. My lovely wife spent 30 minutes picking thorns out of my buttocks. And that's how I came to be called Prickles.

    My wife and I are planning to NoBo thru the PCT. I'm certain our original start date of April 7th isn't going to happen, but start dates are lenient this year. If we can start before April 20th we'll...

    I've had an MSR Pocket Rocket 2 for a year now. It's average at best in almost every way, but it works and has a decent warranty.

    We're through hiking the PCT in...

    Ah! This couldn't have been more perfect. I live in the Austin area. Unfortunately, my wife heavily alluded to her already getting me a 1300ml pot for my upcoming birthday. I should have spoken to...

    Title says it all. I'm looking for a 1300ml titanium cooking pot. Something like a Toaks or a Snow Peak.

    The wife and I have permits for April 7th out of Campo. We just might see each other in town somewhere.

    Best of luck finding some dehydrated meals.

    You could try other companies like Heather's Choice or Backpacker's Pantry.

    A Trail Angel on the PCT had a garden sprayer filled with water and ice. He would spray hikers with ice water. It felt great.

    Leukotape or other blister care is always appreciated.

    Ha! I forgot about those posts.

    Sorry if my previous post was unclear. I started the post and then lost connection and had to write the post again. I originally intended to quote T.S.Kobzol, but...
