gotta protect yourself from the heat

I have one, but I hike the AT and I haven't taken it yet. There is alot if tree cover on the AT where I think the PCT is more exposed. I always end up leaving it. Maybe one day I'll just take it.

I live and hike in SoCal and I have one with the shoulder attachment and I would definitely recommend it for the desert section

A booie hat would keep it out of your face just ass good

Good idea. I do that. She has 4 bottles so maybe no need if it’s only a couple of sections need long water carry. I’m not sure with PCT.

Sawyer filter and at a bottle cap bidday to save the day

​@@vango1131I agree and hand sanitizer

Most bottles have the same thread/cap. Once lost one and found a replacement off a coke bottle walking a road checking litter.

I have a terrible time not breaking the tops off those lids. Flipping them open and closed over and over and that thin piece of plastic breaks and then that part doesn’t stay on at all.

Yeah she left out a ton of stuff

All that will be carried by the boyfriend :D

Use the sky as a blanket and clouds for a pillow 😂

And navigation! Or is she just gonna wing it?

yeahhhh I also share the same sentiments hahahha bringing 3 litter of water is no joke

Thanks so much! It got cut off because there’s a time limit on shorts. Full video on my channel!

@@itsjessferri if you can't get a BIC lighter to at least spark, then you got a real problem. lol

The video was made just for show. Most of these people that put out these kind of videos don't do what they say they are doing. Most of their hiking and backpacking videos are scripted and embellished.

​@@itsjessferriwhere is the video!

​@@theoriginaldashriprock😮 do you think?

Do not bring a ferro rod. Bring two bics. Weight and reliability is better with a bic.

​@@TractorBeam29ferro rods are great for SHTF but not necessary for this thru-hike tons of stores

With a little effort the safety can be used as a fishing hook.

@@TractorBeam29Wrong

Multiple sources of fire recommended, small torch lighter for windy conditions, water proof matches, and a magflint as last resort

yes! a link to yr build on lighter pack would be awesome!

The wheel on the lighter can light a stove

@@eitanpaster5692half of the instances that your lighter doesn’t work, it’s because the flint has gone. Then you’re in a pickle! Definitely bring a spare something, sparkers are so light and small

A Bic lighter might be one of the most reliable things I’ve ever carried. Those things are bullet proof.

2024!

full video is on her channel showing those things :)

Did you even watch the Video? She has Jacket and water in this

You should have 2 lighters and please don't hike alone.🎉

That's what I was thinking. And tent, sleeping pad.

She gonna sleep in the trees. More safer since you're high up there. And it's summer time so she be alright without warm clothes.

can anyone reply on this?

2 liters of water for the desert section lol 😂

I was thinking that too

Yeah, right some of the sections without water on the PC tear multiple day in the desert. You cannot do it with less than 5 L of water.

@@damnitman3170 I literally hiked the PCT desert section this year. There was water everywhere. I used one 1.5L water bottle.

@@Andy-Mesa last year there was a almost 16 mile stretch in the beginning without water, I ran out about 3 miles from Moreno lake. The longest 3 miles of my life.

1200 miles of hiking this year and I would never give up my umbrella.

"I did this, so everybody must do it this way right...?"

@@EthanDurantless that and more “I saw a lot of people do that and all of them switched to this eventually.”

​@@keithlaurenz3774fair play 😊

As always it's a personal choice. But what I've found is that most people that want an umbrella want to keep the sun off, primarily their head and shoulders. This means they have insufficient head cover. If people want to carry them I see no issue but I make better miles without messing with an umbrella and just wear a booney hat and good sunscreen. Umbrellas do come in handy when stationary though. Nothing like sitting in the blazing sun eating lunch and wishing you were under cover. For the PCT since you start in the spring, usually in NM, you have the coolest days in the hottest and most open areas so I suppose an argument can be made you don't really need it at all.

there was a foamie but no sleeping bag?

Make the lighter a Bic or take a flint or something.. Wouldn't take chances out there

And Oregon is full of mosquitos, she's gonna need Deet

Nope. She won’t be sleeping.

It’s in the longer video. The short stops early. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osWEfKyUu8nIhWQ.html

do u recommend both? I was thinking about ditching my pack cover since everything I want to keep dry will be inside the pack liner?

@@udance4ever You don't want a wet pack in your tent, it's best to keep it dry as possible.

That was my first thought, this lighter won't survive more than two weeks!

you just need to safe up some money and quit your job or have an arrangement with your employer. The PCT usually takes around 6-7 Months, but you have very few fixed expenditures. You can do this easily with $10-12k

I would say be your own boss or live with your parents.

Plenty of people figure it out. I guess it depends on your job. If you don’t want to lose it and can’t take the time off that’s different than having saved up enough money to quit and then find a job when you get done. Folks figure it out.

Dixie has a sun umbrella and she loves it. There are so many shade less stretches in the desert that having her own shade will be awesome. I’d say, she might mail it home at Kennedy meadows. You know, when she’s done with the desert. 😂

Most people ditch it. Charge in towns.
