The Pacific Crest Trail Hiker Survey (2021)

After an interesting year of Pacific Crest Trail thru-hiking and PCT survey results in 2020, we're back up and running with a (more) normal year in 2021. The PCT Survey is in its ninth year and I would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to participate. The PCT Survey is

A Note on this Year’s PCT+CDT Surveys

Hello, friends! This year's Pacific Crest Trail and Continental Divide Trail Surveys will be posted a little later than normal. This is due to two factors. First, there are still people completing trails and filling out the surveys. Second, I am going to be completely disconnected from the date

PCT Permit Tips

7 Tips for Getting a PCT Permit

Getting a Pacific Crest Trail permit is the first step of any PCT thru-hike. A lot of future thru-hikers stress out over this process since it's essentially a lottery. That said, your odds of getting a permit are excellent. However, your odds of getting a permit for one specific date are less

(Un)Popular Opinion: Thru-Hikers Stop Depending on Trail Angels

The thru-hiker/trail angel relationship has been put under strain with the increasing popularity of thru-hiking. And it's not just because thru-hikers are hitting the trail with zero money (but that's not helping). For this article, we're going to define trail angels as being anyone who regularly

Trail Angel Money Featured

(Un)Popular Opinion: Trail Angels, Stop Asking Hikers for Money

After my tirade calling out thru-hikers who hike with zero money, I thought it appropriate to examine another money-adjacent aspect of the thru-hiking world, trail angels. If you're unfamiliar with the concept of trail angels, they're basically people who help hikers during their thru-hikes. A

Stop Thru-hiking With Zero Money

August 19, 2021

(Un)Popular Opinion: Stop Thru-Hiking with Zero Money

Carrying a backpack through the wilderness for thousands of miles for what could be as long as six months may not sound like an activity that demands much financial support, but thru-hiking is not as inexpensive an endeavor as you may imagine. According to the Pacific Crest Trail Survey, thru-hikers

What to Put In a Thru-Hiker Care Package

If you know someone who is hiking or plans on hiking a long-distance trail, you may want to send them a hiker care package at some point along the trail. The trick of sending a care package? Knowing what to put in it. At first thought, you may be tempted to fill it with "things hikers like" -
