Stoves And Cooking On The Pacific Crest Trail

Cooking out in the wilderness can be an exciting daily event or a tedious unnecessary chore. Personally, I grew to hate cooking on the Pacific Crest Trail, and ultimately, I decided to go stoveless. Your choices when it comes to stoves can be narrowed down into two general categories: canister

The Sierra: A Sneak Peak

Although you will not begin to see posts regarding the Sierra for a few weeks, I am currently in the mountains and out of the desert (and let me tell you, the mountains are far superior). The following are some of my favorite photos thus far:

Dear Wind, Fuck You.

I really thought we had an understanding. Scorching daytime heat, you are on full blast. Attempting to set up tent and/or sleeping - you had best be elsewhere. I forgave you already for deafening me on my way to Cabazon, and even for blowing that poodle dog bush into me (I am still itchy); but

How To ACTUALLY Shit In The Woods

When I spoke to you last regarding how to shit in the woods, I was speaking from a researched position opposed to one grounded in empirical evidence. Now, after three long weeks of using the Pacific Crest Trail litter box, I have the information you actually need when taking a shit in the

An Afternoon At McDonald’s (on the PCT)

I don't think I have ever been more content just sitting in a McDonald's watching obese Americans hasten their impending biological failures. I myself put down a double quarter-pounder with cheese, a Big Mac, a 10 piece chicken nuggets, a large fry, and a gallon of Dr. Pepper, so I don't know

Trekking Poles – Why?

As some of you already know from my pre-hike ramblings, I was not a huge fan of trekking poles. However, I must admit that my last-minute decision to bring a pair along was a wise one. To give you an idea of why I have converted, here is a list of things poles are useful for: Leaning on

Hiking Solo VS. Hiking Non-Solo

If you have read my PCT FAQ then you already know that I have only myself to keep me company on the Pacific Crest Trail, and if you haven't, then you know now. When I first decided to hike the PCT, I very much wanted a companion (other than Moustachio), but following my initial research, I

Water: The One True God Of The PCT

On the Pacific Crest Trail, hikers have only one god to answer to: water. Where the next water source is, how much water you currently have, and the reliability of your water information are all incredibly important pieces of information on the trail. And said information will easily occupy 50%

Poodle Dog Bush

The Poodle Dog Bush

The wildlife and foliage along the Pacific Crest Trail is quite diverse (even through the 700 miles of desert). Unfortunately, like some of the animals along the PCT (bears, rattlers, and mountain lions), some of the PCT's plants are also to be avoided. Namely, the poodle dog bush. Now I
