I was largely happy with the gear I took on the PCT as far as functionality goes. Everything worked enough to get me from A to B, but I did have some issues with my setup. I'll go over my final PCT gear list and list gripes I had with certain items once I'm settled …
Well, my PCT trek is over. It's taken me almost a month to come to terms with that in some shape or form, to wade through all the feelings that stem from that little fact. For almost 5 months, I lived outside. I woke up in my tent every morning, packed it up, walked, ate, …
Time to leave town. I stayed in Mammoth a day longer than I planned and was eager to get back to the trail. There's an awesome trolley system that navigates the entire town, so getting back to the ski lodge where I can take a shuttle back to Reds Meadow was easy. I was dropped …
Hey all, side note: My podcast left off in Bishop, so this is new territory! Ergo, it's a bit longer to cover all the fun stuff that happened. Enjoy! Last day in Bishop passed, I left my hotel room and walked the two miles back to the gas station in West Bishop. I grabbed …
Exo, MuffinMan, Smooth, and I sat around in the hostel for a lot longer than necessary agonizing over the hike back up Kearsarge Pass. We chilled for a bit, talked with some hikers for a few good hours, ate food, then hesitantly got our packs on and headed out in the evening. We got a …
Feeling better, Exo and I made our way through town and got a partial hitch to our destination. We were left at a road that went directly to Horseshoe Meadows so it would be easy to get a ride here. We sat around and threw rocks waiting along a dusty desert road and jumping up …
Fully geared up and rested up, I hit the trail eager to get into the Sierra. I enjoyed Kenney Meadows, but most of my days there were spent sitting under the shade of a tree in the awful heatwave picturing what was ahead of me. I made my way along the paved road and got …
Hey everyone! I got my images uploaded finally and will be posting them to my page. Wohoo! Picture time is my second favorite time in the world, vomiting words all over my computer screen describing them is my first. I decided to type up a quick overview of each section since I don't have time …
I woke up in the abandoned campground and got my stuff ready, looking at my maps while I chewed on my broken poptarts. 24 miles to Agua Dulce. I've never done 24 miles before... so, why not? Let's do it. I got my stuff together and made my way back to the PCT. Naturally it …
I woke up just after sunrise. I got out of my tent to watch the mountains glow in the morning light. It was pretty early and there wasn't much urgency to get going just yet, so I just sat and admired the view. At about 7:00 I started getting my gear back into my pack …
