Review title: PCT lessons learned
Product review: I read Ray Jardine's PCT handbook after a grueling California hike. Some of his methods have helped me lighten my load and actually increase my safety solo in the backcountry. Not all of his methods are transferable to every region or every season. Other hiking books and magazines market the lastest in expensive outdoor gear. Reading Ray makes the overnight hiker question the need for costly purchases in the latest in high-tech gear to simply go hiking. Again, I plan to adapt only the methods/materials that still allow me to be safety consicious of the climate and region I will be hiking in.
