We started in Campo on April 24 and immediately felt like we were living in a movie - a good one. Thanks to careful planning, preparation, favorable circumstances, and tremendous support from countless people, we are incredibly fortunate to have finished the trail in great spirits without any setbacks. This book aims to give back to the community by helping others fulfill their dream of completing the PCT in the best possible way. Happy Trails! -Jan\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead before you buy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHiking the PCT demands strong self-responsibility. This book assumes you can put things into perspective and find value in ideas that might not perfectly match your needs - ideas that require further thought and detail, consideration of your circumstances, and possible adaptation or outright dismissal. The hikers we met during our journey had vastly different mindsets and motivations. This book doesn't aim to please everyone. Instead, it presents sometimes contrarian opinions on controversial topics, not to provoke but to enrich your thought process and help you refine your own stance.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 162\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 05, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47687841448157,"sku":"9783952619810","price":34.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/rXEzPnvfZd9783952619810.webp?v=1774040384","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-no-drama-pacific-crest-trail-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
