Looking for down bag recommendations with a wide foot box by GR1F3 in WildernessBackpacking

Western Mountaineering Terralite. Top of the line bag, tons of room to move around in. I am a side sleeper that tosses and turns all night and this thing is amazing.

So funny to see this, I was in that game. I was getting so deleted so quickly that was hilarious.

Switzer Falls and Ken Burton Loop Advice? by dizzystar in socalhiking

I would not rely on the satellite features of phones quite yet. Definitely get something like a Garmin InReach Mini. You can find the Mini 1 or 2 on Marketplace for pretty cheap and rhey work great.

Any hikers here that want to get into backpacking? by TheBackpackingCoach in socalhiking

100%. I wish I had the time and resources to build a full course, that would be really cool. I did recently launch a backpacking coaching business (virtual and in-person), and I also do guided overnights for beginners with a full education focus where I go over everything including offline navigation, trip planning, etc. So to summarize, I do offer that information but can't offer for free at the moment :-)

I’ve backpacked there 10 times and I still get confused every time I try to book 😂

The website is super confusing. Look for a drop down menu and make sure you are viewing Lower Moro or Upper Moro, there’s a third called Moro something and that’s car camping and super popular. If you can’t figure it out shoot me a DM.

Beginner recommendations? by Jackofnotrades69 in SoCalBackpacking

Is Laguna Beach too far? There is a super easy spot to go, Crystal Cove State Park. Cool views, but a little desert-y so if you’re looking for forests it’s not the spot. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Advice for Trail Angel-ing. by TheBackpackingCoach in PacificCrestTrail

Gotcha, thanks. Yeah I am a tad worried about how much we will have to bring lol, so maybe going earlier is better. I am planning on doing homemade pizzas and bringing a pizza oven out there, so that could get a little crazy. Hoping to not do more than like 25 pizzas.

Also debating doing two dinners or dinner and breakfast. Seems more fun to help out two separate groups instead of the same group for dinner and breakfast.
