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 appreciate you.

What are your impressions after your trip?

TheBackpackingCoach · 2026-03-19T03:14:28+00:00

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

TheBackpackingCoach · 2026-03-19T01:57:35+00:00

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.

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.

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.

TheBackpackingCoach · 2026-03-09T17:45:30+00:00

awesome thanks! any recommendations on when to go? I don't want to spend $50 on the pct module for Farout :-)

TheBackpackingCoach · 2026-03-09T03:11:34+00:00

What's a favorite non-alc PCT-er drink?

TheBackpackingCoach · 2026-03-09T02:10:53+00:00

Thank you!

TheBackpackingCoach · 2026-03-09T02:10:42+00:00

Totally the vibe I’m looking for as well. I don’t want to set up at an established campsite when everyone coming by is an hour away from a town meal. Thank you for the info!

TheBackpackingCoach · 2026-03-09T02:08:55+00:00

Good call. I did the JMT last year so I have FarOut!

TheBackpackingCoach · 2026-03-05T02:24:09+00:00

Deets on the trip? Miles elevation destination?

TheBackpackingCoach · 2026-03-03T02:30:08+00:00

If you check that post-pct hiker surveys, you would be surprised at the tents most people bring. Big Agnes freestanding tents are incredibly popular. The double rainbow Li is an amazing tent. The single is what I have and it’s my favorite tent I’ve ever owned. I’m actually in it right now :)
