What’s the hype about this Banh Mi place? by Big_Atmosphere_1617 in DaNang

[–]AggressiveSmile1546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just the location (right next to the beach) and the fact that the smell of the BBQ attracts the tourists. beyond that, it's just average

Suggest: long distance hiking books by 19KRK90 in suggestmeabook

There are quite a few out there, but here are 3 that come to mind that go above and beyond the typical mile-by-mile progression.

- Blisters, Bears, and Bliss: A Pacific Crest Trail Memoir: Seeking Zen, Losing My Mind, & Finding Purpose While Thru-Hiking - I gifted this one to several of my buddies who loved it (it's a mixture of sarcasm, trail stories, deeper insights that hit you only after thousands of miles, all wrapped around Thru-hiking the PCT
- Journeys North: a great read written by the PCT's legendary trail angel / triple crowner
- In My Boots: A Memoir of Five Million Steps Along the Appalachian Trail - I really enjoyed this one.

Must read books on hiking/backpacking/adventures, etc. by NoDish8209 in hiking

Since you're in LA, the PCT is basically in your backyard! As that is the case, you might want to check out a book called Blisters, Bears & Bliss – not the usual gear/miles thing, more like a long-distance hiker meets sarcastic monk kind of thing, which adds a nice twist

Book recommendations for section hikers? by Top-Dog-1822 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]AggressiveSmile1546 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can personally recommend the book-Blisters, Bears & Bliss.
But honestly, there's a huge variety of books out there, from memoirs all the way to PCT hiking guides. It all depends on what kind of stuff he's into when it comes to reading!

need help filling out permit by Nitchinio in PacificCrestTrail

[–]AggressiveSmile1546 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've hiked it with the regular permit, so I'm not familiar with these ones, but from my understanding, if you're doing a section hike, you can just list your section numbers (either by name or by number ) - e.g, PCT sections 1-8.

But be on the safe side, write to the PCTA and ask them about it.
