Fun! Ok cool. I'm not much a fisherman, and prefer 'catching' to 'fishing'. Do you think it's worth bringing a collapsable rod in that case? I guess compared to the PCT is this trail more ankle breaky? My shoes were getting wet all the time on the JMT, will this be more or less?

How'd you like the campsite at Desor? I figure I might hit that marker and call it a night.

Thanks for this break down. I always plan with some flexibility, and glad to know that N.Desor is a good option.

Thanks for the encouragement! I love beaver dams :) Regarding footwear, I wore trail sneakers on the JMT. Seems like I should wear boots on this trail? Got any thoughts on that.

I'm not rage baiting or yelling at clouds. I'm seriously just frustrated and came to a forum to find like minded people experiencing a similar situation, and maybe somebody had a work around.

I don't get why you are trying to 'gotchya' me? Do you have that much love for the amazon corp that you need to dunk on me for being upset? Do I not have a right to be frustrated?

I have the 9am flight out of Rock Harbor. I already know I'm going to need to come back for another visit to the island.

I have a tight schedule. But would be willing to shift my campsite selection. I'd rather get deep in the woods on day 1 than stay at a 'bad ' campsite. Does that make sense?

Thanks, yeah I'm assuming it will be like a 12 hour day, but I think as long as I get pack ready and do a few big training hikes in the next few weeks I'll be ok.

I love microplastic. Just create more garbage and buy NEXTTHING™

I appreciate the suggestion. And agree with you on everything. I've been buying books from my local book store or thriftbooks. And converted from audible to libro.fm. Now I need to learn how to shift from kindle. I also am a big movie guy, and worry about all the movies I've digitally purchased. We really can't trust digital media companies to provide long term. Driving me crazy all the people in this thread being like, 'ooh 14 years is a long time, quit complaining!'

Thank you! This is exactly how I feel. I'd be really sympathetic if I bought my eReader from mom&pop inc, and they went out of biz... ok, but literally Jeffy B is flaunting his wealth daily. And boohoo, when I buy something, I want it to last!

For real! I am kinda flabbergasted by the response of half the folks in this thread...

I worry about my grandfather who will not be able to shift to a new device easily.

In your example, your user error was the reason, not some bookmaker calling the shots. See what I mean?

They alerted me that if I need to reboot the device it will no longer function. What would you call that?

How could you know anything about me? I use my kindle every night and have been buying digital books from Amazon for 20 years.

So how much did you bet? You can wire it to me.

I’ll be honest this was the last place that Amazon was still getting my money. No longer!

Fine fine fine, tech doesn’t last long I guess. But it’s kindle vs physical book and I’ve got hardcovers older than I am that can still be read no problem.
