Dateline: Warner Springs, CA (20180509)
Our PCT adventure has begun and it has more learning than expected. Both cold and heat played a role. Water and food consumption were both radically different than expected. In the desert, I was needing a third to a half again as much water as I had needed on my training hikes. And losing over 14 lbs in 10 days, I know I’ve got to consumer more calories on future hikes than I have been in Section A. It’s not that I didn’t have the food. I simply didn’t have the appetite. Reflections on those items and much more are in the video that follows.
I apologize for the long video. I didn’t have time to produce a short one. I’m back on the trail to start Section B this morning.

Hey Rob,
Well done. Keep up the good work – and make that effort to eat man. You’re burning up your reserves!
Best of luck on Section B – Holly and I will be following along.
By the way, do you have a small solar panel to charge your electronics?
I own one but not carrying it. External batteries weigh less and will make the distance between access to AC.
Bravo!!!
