Gear! my favorite...
I know there is a lot of people gearing up and getting ready for 2015. I thought I would review and give my thoughts on my gear choices from my hike. I didn't like a lot of the things I thought I would. I changed a lot along the way. Like my shoes, tent, sleeping bag, and pack.
IF i was to finish the trail and/or do it all over again I would lighten the load for sure. But only from my experience could I have learned that.Yeah, I am dumb like that. I don't listen. But even when my pack was at it's heaviest in the beginning, it didn't bother me as much as it did in the ended when it was at it's lightest. My body was in a downward spiral of getting weaker and weaker. I only lost 7lbs on the trail and gained 2 back. I don't really know what was happening. I walked 17 miles leaving Lake Morena only stopped to dig a cat hole. I took one 15 min break and walked into Mt. Laguna. In the last few hundred miles I could only muster 5 miles at a time before taking a break, and taking a long 30 min to hour long break after 10 or so miles. I was plagued with injury till I was forced to quit the trail in Chester. It took me a solid 6 weeks before I was 100% again. Sadly I haven't hiked further than 3 or so miles since I've been home. I miss the trail and my Friends.
