Is it a Golite? <BR/><BR/>Also, with the bears in mind, do you just plan to outrun them, have bearspray, prod'em with your trekking poles or carry a nice 6" knife?<BR/><BR/>I'm planning a 1 month fastpack on the continental divide and just curious what others are using.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-1172614743338786652007-02-27T14:19:00.000-08:002007-02-27T14:19:00.000-08:00Hi Dave thanks for the post!CatraHi Dave thanks for the post!<BR/>CatraCatrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00009441300980173501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-1172614703171995982007-02-27T14:18:00.000-08:002007-02-27T14:18:00.000-08:00Hey Greyhound-I have been trying to do the PCT for...Hey Greyhound-<BR/>I have been trying to do the PCT for the past two years and something always came up.

Maybe list your preference for the 3 heavies: tent/shelter, backpack, sleeping bag. And food prep/stuff.<BR/><BR/>You don't have ta, but i'm curious to see how light you're going and what you intend to eat, etc. Being the dirt diva you are.<BR/><BR/>Curious and all. Thanks.

I will sneak out for a hike.<BR/>I will find out Monday if I can at least start riding the bike in the gym.<BR/>I had a set back this week I ended up going in for surgery a seroma developed in one of the areas of my surgery. That sucked. I can't go back to work until next Thursday.<BR/>I had a drain in but was taken out Thursday.<BR/>I'm going crazy ;)<BR/>The only exercise I di is squats at home no weights and 300 sit ups.

He runs for the Montrail ultrarunning team there.<BR/>I have lots of fastpacking experiance. I have done the JMT 6 times and many other over night fastpack trips.<BR/>My pack with food won't weigh more than 18 pounds. It might weigh a little more through the hotter sections since we will have to carry extra water.<BR/>Hey I don't remember but have you done the whole PCT Aaron.<BR/><BR/>I will email ya soon.<BR/>CatraCatrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00009441300980173501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-1172292319800370332007-02-23T20:45:00.000-08:002007-02-23T20:45:00.000-08:00I’m jealous.I’m jealous.Snakebitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879428992616238833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-1172292257589830432007-02-23T20:44:00.000-08:002007-02-23T20:44:00.000-08:00Hey Catra,This is Aaron.You meen you met a crazy n...Hey Catra,<BR/>This is Aaron.<BR/><BR/>You meen you met a crazy nut out there to keep up with you!!? <BR/>Wow!<BR/>I can't belive that that's all the snow that's up by Sonora.<BR/><BR/>How were the temps, day & night?<BR/><BR/>I will only be able to get up there around mid April, but it will be at full steam ahead, like you are starting to now.<BR/>Good luck with your training and planing.
