Helpful advice

My step sister-in-law came up last week for a visit, she’s an avid backpacker. So naturally she was excited about my pending hike and dished out tons of helpful advice including what to look for in a pack and possibilities for my re-supply.  She’s a great source of information!  We might even get together a few times over the coming years before my trek to practise.  I of course invited her to hike a leg of the PCT with me!

I showed her my PCT binder, that I’ve affectionately nicknamed Ogre, it’s friggin huge.  A 3 1/2 inch binder jammed full of maps, elevations, shopping lists, resupply plans, etc.  I obviously cannot bring Ogre with me on my hike, but for now, it’s my PCT bible!
