CDT Better Than PCT

July 1, 2019

Why the CDT Is Better Than the PCT

The Continental Divide Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail are both long-distance hiking trails connecting the Mexican and Canadian borders of the United States. Every year, a class of hopeful thru-hikers sets out on (what is many times) a once-in-a-lifetime journey with the hopes of completing the

Why the PCT Is Better Than the CDT

The Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail are largely regarded as two of the greatest long-distance hiking trails in the world. Hiking one of these trails requires a huge amount of time and dedication; time and dedication that many people will only be able to accommodate once (if

The Triple Crown: AT, PCT, CDT

The Triple Crown refers to the hiking of the three great long-distance trails in the United States: the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail. Our dear friend Mr. Appa The Sky Bison has changed his mission from hiking the PCT a second time to hiking instead

10 Things You Can Do in Japan (And Not the US)

Making Change In Brazil

Like HALLS and the thumbs-up, there are other things that make life here in Brazil just a little different from back in the America of North and its respective states (and I'm not just talking about the threat of monkeys). What is it now? It's pennies. I will demonstrate with the following

How To Be On-time In Brazil

Being late can make you look fashionable. Being late can make you look rude. Being late can make you pregnant. And in Brazil, being late can make you one of the locals. So you are invited to a party (I know, it's your lucky day), and the host tells you that their Super Saturday Football Best
