https://www.eastsidesierrashuttle.com Used then 3 times on my PCT section hike. Prices are high but they were always on time (or early) and very knowledgeable about anything I alked.
Any chance you're getting back into the cuben fiber tent business again? My solo is still going strong after 200+ nights but sooner or later gonna need a replacement.....
I run in Hoka stinsons so figured I'd try them on a 70 mile hike to see if I could ditch my Keen Targhees. Worst 70 miles I've ever had. Toe box was way too tight for swelling of feet when hiking...
Thanks for all the advice. Probably go with 20 degree bag just in case. Permit secured yesterday. I'll keep the bear vault in mind Malto. You're a great guy to even offer it up.
Finally might have time off to do a "half" thru hike. Was thinking about avoid the crowds by going SOBO by flying into Reno mid August, catching the PCT by coming in on the Tahoe Trail at MM 1129.5...
The trail guide is very similar to the AT guide. (AWOL actually helped the authors redesign it a few years back.) Compared to the AT, I think the FT is poorly marked (I've section hiked 600 miles...
I used a Nero for 300+ miles on the PCT this summer without the pad (and after a few days....without the hip belt.) I had no problems with abrasion to clothing. Had 20 pounds a few times after...

3 grams on my scale (For comparison - Zpacks with extension handle is 6 grams) Certainly not the best quality, but where...
I've recently ordered twice from Luke (Once through his website, once through a Massdrop) and received both items promptly. Heck, I ordered the first item on Thanksgiving Day and received a personal...
For you gram weenies like me.....I ended up tearing apart a Leatherman Style and just using the scissors. The Style weighed .8 ounces, the scissors and functioning tension bar together weigh 3...

Sorry, it's Sandra, not Susan.
I would contact Susan at http://floridahikes.com/hiking-trails. She is pretty good at answering email about Trail news. She's the co-author of the app and the trail guide.
Just received a 30 degree bag I ordered from Zpacks a month ago. Scale puts it at 15.9 oz (which is pretty awesome!) but remembered specs saying it should be 15.4. Pulled up the website and a 30...
Yesterday I received an email saying that this would be the new logo for the PCTA:http://www.pcta.org/wp-content/emails/new-look-pcta/logo-horiz-standard2.png
Today I got another email stating...
Thanks for the feedback. Burney Mountain Guest Ranch makes a daily run to the Post Office in Burney. From there I'm catching the bus to Redding. From Redding I have a one-way car rental to get back...
Finished up the AT last year so am now starting to section the PCT at the beginning of August. First section is from mile 1130 (Tahoe Trail intersection) to mile 1407 (Burney) Have 3 questions:

I would recommend the suggestion above with an additional thought..... Better to park somewhere you'll arrive at too early than worrying about getting your miles in every day for 30 days. If you get...
I know the white mountain lodge shuttles from pinkham notch, https://www.whitemountainslodgeandhostel.com , but not sure if they'd shuttle all the way to Baxter.
Final comment..... Get my way? Huh? You can call people idiots, lunatics, douchebags, a-holes, whatever gets the blood pressure up or down. Go for it. I'm all for calling people out if they...
Anyone with the slightest bit of common sense can see through this statement. So I guess it makes sense that you believe it. It's not the first time you've made an ash hole comment.

To tagg, Tipi, Deadeye and whomever else that believes they are somehow funny with their nauseating play on words......
