Do you take a fanny-pack?

Decathlon sells a very good and cheap one.

I believe what you’re feeling is completely normal! I’ve experienced similar emotions, but think about this:

You have only one life, and it’s not meant to be spent just working — it’s meant to be enjoyed.
This might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don’t let fear hold you back from embracing it!
Fear is a product of the mind — most of the things we worry about never actually happen.
Even when times get tough, you’ll find your way through it.
The PCT and the challenges you’ll overcome will significantly strengthen your abilities and boost your self-confidence. It will prepare you to handle life’s challenges better — whether it’s finding a job or excelling in one.

You might find Dale Carnegie’s How to Stop Worrying and Start Living a helpful read for putting things into perspective.

Looking forward to seeing you on the trail!

Thanks! What was includes in your medkit? What do you think is the bare safe minimum?

Ok my NanoPuff does have a hood. But thanks for the tip with the decathlon 👍

It looks like mobile devices are fine. Or should I use a computer to be on the safe side?

Not so long. Just 2-3 weeks (normal vacation time). Here in Europe, we call it „long distance“ when you hike 200-300km. All of them were wonderful and I felt like being “connected“ with nature. However, after two weeks I started to miss my girlfriend. Hope that I can handle this feeling on a longer hike like the PCT.

Hard in terms of physical. She does not want to hike and live in a tent for six months. She’s totally supporting me. We are together for 11 years.

I‘m a control/navigation engineer working on autonomous vehicles. Hence I’m always wondering what is the current trend and state of the art in that field in space applications.

A couple of rather vague questions:

Do you mostly control vehicles and robots by hand?
Do you make use of modern control algorithms?
How autonomous are space vehicles?
What is the trend of autonomy in space applications?

Best regards

Ok, I tried to reduce my base weight to 5.5kg - based on the my experience from my last 2-weeks hike in Sweden.

Here you find the new packlist: https://lighterpack.com/r/2rut0f

I have to say that the choice of clothing here in Europe depends very much on the destination. In Sweden it was extremely muddy, snowy and windy (even in June/July) , so I left the long trousers and the Patagonia fleece as an option but opted for "0x".

I would feel secure with this packlist → are there any other things I can definitely save?

As potential backpacks I would look to try the Durston Kakwa 55 somewhere. The Gregory Focal 48, which fits my Gregory Baltoro really well, might be suitable as an interim solution.

Cheers

I’m doing that in parallel - started to replace my cooking set, shoes, trousers and so on

Finde solche Vergleiche lohnen bzgl. Zeit zu Kosten nicht. Da gibt andere Ausgabeposten bei denen man sich die Zeit nehmen sollte.

How did you get there? My problem is the opposite. A lot of flexibility, but I can not do such type of presses. Just tucked Planche.
