The Pacific Crest Trail FAQ

When people find out that you are planning on hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, they will generally ask you the same set of questions (yes, this is a FAQ to prepare you for/answer your questions about a PCT thru-hike, not a FAQ for hikers themselves; but trust me, regardless of which side you fall on,

Craig’s PCT Planner

Attempting to "plan" a Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike has reminded me why I never plan ahead of time. How one could even begin to accurately plan a five-month walk across the country is beyond me. However, in this case, a lack of planning could potentially result in my starving alone in the woods

The Bear Canister: Combating And Outsmarting Hungry Bears

As we are all well aware, bears are the greatest threat to hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail and around the world (yes, the world). The world's top bear experts have long maintained that after human flesh, human food (that's food that humans consume) is the number one attractor of bears in the

PCT Sponsorships: KEEN

I have since updated my stance on KEEN and their supposed "sponsorship" of my Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike. Find out the truth here. A 2,600 walkthrough bear-infested wilderness provides the ultimate stage for testing and evaluating backpacking gear. Fortunately KEEN, a footwear company based in

Mapping All 2,600 PCT Miles

Those unfamiliar with the Pacific Crest Trail tend to assume that the trail follows the coast, but sadly it fails to even come within eye-shot of the ocean. Looking at a giant zoomed-out map of the Pacific Crest Trail aids in impressing people with its length and demonstrating its true proximity

The Pacific Crest Trail: T-Minus One Month

It is unclear whether I have yet to fully appreciate the drastic lifestyle shift I am about to undergo, or if the prospect of sleeping alone in the woods for five months very subtly excites me. What I do know is that after researching and writing about how to not be eaten by bears, all I can

The Ultimate Trail Mix Recipe

Take it from someone who's been there, pouring seven pounds of M&Ms into a trash bag is far more satisfying than you may already suspect. Follow that up with pounds of nuts and dried fruit, and you have yourself the ultimate bag of layered trail mix ingredients. You have now arrived at the far

8 Ridiculous PCT Acronyms to Learn

Hikers very much enjoy the use of acronyms, no matter how obscure or unintuitive they may be. However, the use of acronyms is not exclusive to hikers, and I would venture to say that more groups than not are quite fond of acronyms. Whether it be to instill a false sense of creativity, to create
