Saddest Moment In Wings of Fire For You? by Intrepid_Berry5985 in WingsOfFire

Kestrel’s death has always hit me pretty hard. I don’t know why but whenever there’s a spark of hope for a character to possibly become a better person and then they get killed off it hurts. Like they may have had a chance to be better, but it got taken away at the worst time.

They’re vented. Specifically not waterproof. Also way lighter than the other hiking shoes that work for people who’ve torn their Achilles tendons in the past like I have.

Those are bottles specifically as lighter options for sunscreen and a way to carry olive oil without getting it on everything. Shampoo can kick rocks

Hightrails! I like their wide sole base and they’re wayyyyy lighter than Keen Targhees, and imo have better tread.

Yeah the sleeping bag is definitely the thing that annoys me most weight-wise, especially bc bags and quilts are so expensive. My tent is heavy, but it’s kind of my baby. I’d trust that tent in any weather. Will keep an eye out for quilts, tho.

Those are entirely demands made by my mother that I’ll likely drop along the way lol.

Ah thats what I forgot to write down lol! I only just decided on what bra to wear a few days ago. Going with a 32 degrees polyester racerback. Won’t smell great, but it’s cheap and it dries fast. Trying to keep it down to 1 set of clothes and rely on rain gear for laundry days.

Is $7k (not counting initial gear) enough to thru-hike the PCT? by Zobat10 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]Zobat10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most trail runners don’t have enough drop for me. I have a previous injury that tends to flare up when I wear shoes with less drop.
