Thank you. I am planning for 2016 and this is a great help. I really like how you broke down the sections and described why you chose what you carried.
Nope, I went by Salad Days.
I had the pleasure of hiking with Don's Brother, or Mike. He was a very positive and warming person to be around. We wore the same shoes and always chatted about how they were holding up. Fond...

Thanks! Those few nights created a very tight bond between us, that is for sure.
Hello everyone,
I thought I would share a story I wrote about a few days on the trail from my 2013 thruhike.

The LCD screen weighs 30-40 grams (depending on what housing you will be using, if any at all). Not too much weight for what you get. Also, if you plan on using it for stills, I think the LCD is a...
I've used GoPro Heros since they came out with the first one.
GoPro currently has a few different models, White, Silver and Black. Make sure to read about each version, as you might be able to...

I've recently been having the same debate with my gear; trying to find a lighter option for a bladder and where to keep the damn thing.

Thank you for the info! Very interesting about the mountain rescue.
I have a guide book on order and will decide once it arrives.
Thanks again,

Phew, glad you're ok! Nice photo for the memory though.
Hey there everyone,
I am planning my next adventure and I am thinking about hiking this end to end. Has anyone on here hiked this trail before?
I am from the US, so my main concern is not...
I used Brooks Cascadia 8's on my 2013 thruhike. I recently purchased the new 9's and love them just as much as the 8's.
I never got a blister, they dried really fast, I didnt feel the pointy PA...
Awww I must have missed it. I tried finding it, but can't locate the thread.
Hope you're doing well.
I got Norovirus...just like in real life! Instead, in the game I kept hiking and in real life I took a zero haha
Pretty fun while sitting at work, not working and thinking about hiking.

Good luck!!
