Lose 5 lbs right before the hike😂 here's your free 5 lbs🎉 Alternatively cold soak, eat grass, sleep on the ground and yes! The big one: ditch band aids😂 really??? There is really not many ways. You cut into your safety or comfort. Lift heavy - travel happy

eat grass?! that sounds awful 🤣. and yeah, you cut into your comfort to be more comfortable, everything is a trade off. The good news is we all get to do whatever we want!

I follow a lot of PCT hikers every year. A few good ones do almost daily vlogs. I don't see that with CDT. My impression of the CDT is 3000 miles of Desolation. I'm guessing town stops may be once/twice a month. Probably zero trail magic, and random hitches or even car pass by is rare. So, is it more scenic than PCT? I also get a sense of claustrophobia like the trail is a continuous trench with east and west on either side. It doesn't seem enjoyable unless you hike 16 hrs a day and eat cold soaked oatmeal every day. Tell me I'm wrong.

@@trexinvert wrong in some ways right in others! I think daily vlog editing is really hard to do on any trail because of the time commitment and I’m picky about how I edit things together - much prefer doing it on a computer rather than a phone. I think there are just a lot less hikers on the CDT and that’s why you don’t see as many vlogs (also not as many people know about it so the algorithm doesn’t push it out as much maybe). CDT is definitely a lot less populated and way more “out there” than the PCT. Towns are farther apart but you can definitely still stop at least once a week (much more if you want in certain sections like central Colorado). You are correct about there being very little trail magic. Hitches were mostly fine except a few spots! Some sections (like lots of New Mexico) are not as scenic as the PCT. The rest is awesome and very scenic. I’d say the trail is more of a continuous ridge (riding the spine of the divide) than a trench). It’s certainly much more difficult hiking than the PCT and requires some long days. I have a video series of my hike If you are interested in seeing more of what the day to day is like!

1. Very important item…maybe #1. An accurate scale, postage or kitchen. Know what everything weighs. Nothing is weightless except knowledge. 2. Learn how to do without. 3. Use a bidet instead of TP. 4. The smallest Swiss Army Knife has a great selection of essential tools. The tweezers are the shape recommended by experts for safe tick removal. The blade is big enough for anything you will actually need it for. The scissors will cut tape., patches or aluminum cans…to make an efficient alcohol stove like Fuzzy’s Li’lStove when your heavy high-tech stove fails. 5. Leave the “what iffs” at home; they alwats add unnecessary weight.
