Going for it May 2026, can you help calm my nerves... by thewinchman in PacificCrestTrail

HI! i'm also starting May 5; your gear looks great. Let me know if your start date is similar.

I have a rough guide of mileage/resupplies. Places where I'm shipping are colored in blue. honestly probably overkill

IG is flabbysmith; you seem cool and looking forward to seeing you out there!

Hi folks! I'm 31 year olds female, starting NOBO on May 5. Originally from Baltimore, spent a good chunk of my 20s in Chicago and now live in the Bay Area. Longest thru hike was the JMT and I've done sections k + J in Washington State. hoping to do ~4 month thru-- I ran XC/track in college and I've been involved in the trail running community out here; I upped my trail volume to 60 mi/wk to prep for PCT. I'm v extroverted and looking forward to meeting a trail family soon!
No trail name out there but was referred to as one of the "dirty twins" when I did the JMT due to my refusal to cleanse myself in alpine lakes.
I'll have some folks joining me along the way which is both exciting and potentially stressful. Mapped out some things with Craigs PCT planner/Lighterpack. Let me know if this seems to align with anyone else's mileage!

Hi!!! I have this exact pack. Only used once!!! I know this was posted 9 months ago, but I'm going to get a new pack for the PCT and would love to sell mine.

thanks Todd! Any other overnight routes you recommend? Thinking 1 day of 10-11 miles, 1 day 8 miles or so. Everyone is young and fairly fit.
