I start on Saturday the 27th and will upload pics and brief updates here. I finished setting up my YT channel and will be posting video updates there.

Half my gear is in Nashville, I will do a starting gear video next Friday.

Will follow. Good luck and have a great time. Wish I would've done this and the PCT soon after college. Could've used the experience and perspectives in so many ways.

If you haven’t yet, buy the Guthook trail map on your phone.

Slight gear scare, my box to Nashville was delayed 3 times but is there intact, 3.5 days until I start.

you doing the approach trail or starting at Springer?

Hope this rain gets out of here for you so the first day isn't a monsoon.

Headed to Springer, got 15 min down the road and left my trekking poles at the hotel and had to go back to get them.

Good luck to ya brother! Look forward to hearing more. Be safe.

Edit to add; watched your equipment video. What is your total pack weight? Why the iPad and not just have your smart phone?

I'm excited for you.
