Haha, it’s a bit of an obsession…

I’m a big fan of this one: https://www.mountain-forecast.com/ it does mountains, not trails. Just type the name of the mountain and it will give tons of detail.

Also, my personal favorite 2 day hike in the pnw is Old Snowy mountain in the Goat Rocks Wilderness

(Also a good example to test)

I’m not sure, but I think part of the problem is that the votes are “real”. Since every instance has to have the same number of up/down votes they can’t get away with fudging the numbers. I have no hard evidence that reddit does, but I suspect they do to increase engagement.

Ha, yeah, that sounds… Not great. Starting April 8!

Thanks! I’ve had some pretty nasty water before, but it sounds like the CDT is gonna take that to another level. Is it weird to be excited about gross water?

The orange thing is my sleeping pad. I prefer a foam mat to to a blowup pad.

And totally understandable question! I’m bringing a sawyer squeeze water filter. It connects to the top of a squeezable bag or a smart water bottle if your bag breaks.

The Continental Divide Trail. 3000 miles along the rocky mountains from Mexico to Canada. I’ve been getting the money together and looking forward to this for the last two years!

Ohh that’s good. I always use the “try another outlet”, but it backfires sometimes when they move the whole desk to another outlet

There are a few nuggets that are still only obvious when you actually think about it. Like don’t fight with a hill behind you because you might need to retreat, do fight with a forest behind you for the same reason.

Thanks! I’d love to claim it’s skill, but it’s roughly 100% luck

That’s the disease that may qualify you for financial compensation

I think you’re looking too deep. The ghost of Christmas future shows you how unimportant you are, but the character doesn’t care since the world is better than expected.

It’s been a pleasure knowing you DumbKid.

Do it! We could do with some more posts around here!

This is right off the Green Tunnel, though I can’t recall the exact spot. I think it’s just after the Long Trail veers away from the AT.

Gear is always such a personal choice, and he probably knows more about what he needs than I do, but as somebody with bad ankles, an ASO brace is a necessity. He may want to bring one along just in case one of the guests sprains or twists an ankle. At least for me that can be the difference between taking 3 hours to get to the trail head and taking 6 hours.
