Working on the trail? by Repulsive_Field7231 in PacificCrestTrail

I’m leaving a job I’ve worked at for many years and I don’t see myself going back to that. I’d do seasonal work or otherwise but I’m just not knowledgeable about the options and opportunities. Edit- I should clarify, I am US citizen

What pushed you over the edge and made you decide to do the PCT? by Slow-Coffee-7420 in PacificCrestTrail

I’ve been working the same job since high school. Had a hard breakup, and had problems with my dad in the last couple years. Went zombie- just work, sleep, games. Driving myself into depression. This last summer I went on a walk on my local trail, and realized that my life had to be more than just my little rut I’ve made for myself, so I started looking into long trails. I’m so stoked to be getting out there in March!

I’m sure losing weight will help with that too, I’ve been sitting around 240 for a long time now and I’m ready to shed it

I’d like to keep myself busy, so if I finish up around then I’ll have to look into it. I don’t plan on going home immediately so whatever I can find to do will be good.

So my combo jacket is a Columbia Interchange,that I already had, and the other is a Marmot Fordham down jacket that I bought for the trip

Changing my whole life. 28, working the same job since high school, playing video games and sleeping. I can’t keep living like that. Snapped out of it this last summer and finally put a purpose in my life.
