PCT worth of food!!

So I just got the majority of the food that I will be eating on the PCT. I have 40 pounds of Cous Cous, 40 pounds of potato flakes, and 25 pounds of granola. Still need to get some plain ol' oatmeal, and dehydrated soup mix.

Canadian Acceptance

Looks like Canada is happy to have me walk across their border. Just got my acceptance letter saying that I'm now legally allowed to enter through the Pacific Crest Trail.

New Stove

I just made my new alcohol stove. It is made from a metal beer bottle and runs off of alcohol. I will buy some fuel and test it out later. I will also upload a video showing it and testing out the new video camera.

Kilt Power

I just got my new hiking kilt and looks like it will be a very comfy 2700 miles. Going to go skiing in a kilt next week, seeing as the spring heat is allowing such.W

New gear to play with

I just got my new Sleeping bag (Mont-Bell U.L. S.S. Down Hugger #3) and a new back pack (GoLite Peak). Everything looks good, going to be testing my gear on a short trip to Southern Utah later this month. I still need to get a camera and a few other bits, but it looks like my pack weight will easily be under 10 pounds (with a wooden canoe paddle, 1-2 video cameras, and a solar charger).

I will have pictures of my gear up soon, and will get my website looking better.

Hello big world

This is the first post of my blog. I have decided that I'm going to attempt to thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail. While doing this I will be providing a video blog every day. Which means I will need to be carrying a heavy HD Video camcorder and a portable solar charger to do this. I think in the long run this is a good road to head down.

I still have some big hurdles to clear before I head out on my next big adventure. I need to get 4-5 months worth of food, all my gear organized, and logistics planned out.

I will have photos and updates as they come.
