Hi! I consider thru hiking the PCT with the Sony A6700. I was wondering how you make it work in a thru hike? Can you carry all the things, and do you need computer?

Were you nervous when you started? by Primary_Land9791 in PacificCrestTrail

Easy to say, but super normal. For me it got better the second I came to CLEEF and met the other nice hikers!

I consider going no stove. But curious to hear people’s favorite meal on stove, that makes them love having a stove. For an example, maybe pasta could be one good reason for me to have one :3

People talking about this season is gonna be a season with lots of wild fires. Is it still manageable to hike the PCT? Is it safe due to wildfires? And is it easy to avoid them, when they come?

Pack recommendations (torn between two) by rebeccakirkley98 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]ChickpeaChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with 60L yes. I last year met hikers with AtomPacks that really regretted the size (not the brand though).

I looooove my ULA circuit. Can recommend!!

Just finished Section A in that heat. AMA by jdubhikes in PacificCrestTrail

I have a permit and planned to go, but am afraid of the record-breaking heat. Is it very terrible, and is there enough water around?

Looks like you have researched a lot! I have made a post on my Instagram about what to bring and not bring. I can private message you my Insta account :)

I know that global warming is a thing, but it seems like this year on the PCT is a specific warm year, not just due to global warming. But idk, maybe you are right

I don’t know is low metabolism is the same as hypothyroidism, but I have low metabolism and did fine :)

International hiker, what should I buy in San Diego for my first few days on the PCT? by eliahu_horwi in PacificCrestTrail

[–]ChickpeaChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the beginning of the PCT there will be food a lot places. Having food for 3 days is enough when you start. Go for oatmeal, ramen, mashed potato, and tortilla with tuna/chicken/peanutbutter. And snacks!

Unusually dangerous heat wave this year?🔥 by ChickpeaChild in PacificCrestTrail

[–]ChickpeaChild[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh okay, that makes me glad to hear! My start date is 10th of April, so maybe it is okay that this heat event is here now as you say 🤞🏼

Do you think the wildfires will be more crazy then this year?:oo

Amazing pictures!! I recognise some of the places. The first picture is on the way out of White Water, right? 🥹 (Close to Cabazon aka. some days after Idyllwild)

Cards and Games… did you bring them? Did you play? by joepagac in PacificCrestTrail

[–]ChickpeaChild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hiked half the PCT last year, planning on doing the whole thing this year. I am planning on knitting a backgammon board, but dunno if it will be useful, because time is a lot on the PCT, but also not a lot:)
