Why I’m Hiking The Pacific Crest Trail Again

My decision to hike the Pacific Crest Trail for the first time (in 2013) was rather spontaneous. Without getting existential, I can trace this decision back to a chance encounter I had with a man in New Hampshire. It's one of a handful of moments I can honestly say forever changed the course of

Why I Hiked The Pacific Crest Trail

At some point during all the small talk on the Pacific Crest Trail, it can be expected that your reason(s) for starting the PCT in the first place will be brought up. I never had a good response to this. The story of my Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike doesn't begin with me wanting to profoundly

How To Shit In The Woods

If you would like to find out how to actually shit in the woods, then check out part two of this series: How To ACTUALLY Shit In The Woods. Besides being the title of a promising, but incredibly disappointing and outdated book (yes, pooping in the woods has come quite a long way), how to shit in

Blogging From The Trail

Despite being out of touch with the world for the next five months, I plan on maintaining regular updates to Halfway Anywhere. However, seeing as most of my musings shall reflect life on the Pacific Crest Trail, I have preemptively written multiple entries to be posted on arbitrary dates over the

The Night Before The Morning Of (The PCT)

It's just past midnight, and I have just finished what I deem an acceptable amount of planning and preparation for the start of my 2,600 mile adventure. I ended up throwing a lot more into my pack than I initially planned, and I have no idea what tomorrow has in store, but following my 1.5 hour

Complete Pacific Crest Trail Gear List

NOTE: I have since written an updated version of the ideal PCT gear list. Check it out here: The Ultimate Pacific Crest Trail Packing List. Talking about gear (specifically their own gear, and even more specifically - how much it weighs) apparently gets most hikers very sexually aroused. Since

One Week Left: PCT Crunch Time

In exactly one week you will not be hard-pressed to find me squatted over a hole in the earth, loosening my bowels into the fertile ground that is the California desert. Just one of the many luxuries I have to look forward for the next five months of my time on this planet. The planning stage

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
