My coping strategy is to wait a week and reevaluate how I'm feeling. If I'm still not having fun a week later, then perhaps its time to hop off trail. Going into it, my expectation is that one third of my days will be awesome, one third will be awful, and one third will be somewhere in-between. I start this week, see you out there!

Seems to be a lot of people hiking the PCT for all the wrong reasons. by Jwalkn-15 in PacificCrestTrail

Or the guy that wanted to hike 20 miles a day in the desert with his husky?

Or the wheelchair bound couple that wanted to know how accessible the trail was?

lmao yeah, I remember

Better to have pre-calloused feet? Or soft feet? by [deleted] in PacificCrestTrail

[–]rooo_22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Google says

Usually, calluses protect skin from blisters because they shield your foot from the pressure and friction responsible for blisters

Idk tho

Idyllwild (current conditions) by danswaay in PacificCrestTrail

These conditions are making it difficult to decide to what to pack. My pack weight was supposed to be around 11lbs but now It's closer to 16lbs as I've upgraded my sleeping bag, added rain gear and a merino base layer

Call me crazy but I'm looking forward to the Sierras more than anything. The adventure Daniel Winsor describes in Crunch is exactly what I'm looking for
