This is just some video log of my first week on the trail. I'll try to post these more regularly, it just takes a bit of work to put it all together and find a good wifi spot to upload while out on the trail. I'm having too much fun out here. Enjoy, and check out lambdinswalkabout.blogspot.com for more thoughts!
Lambdin's Walkabout - PCT Gear 2015
มุมมอง 8K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a gear overview for my 2015 PCT attempt. I feel like I'm definitely taking more things than I'll need, and I don't quite have it refined with lots of complementary items. I think that's how it will be for the start though, and I can always send things home as I find I dont use them often. Total pack weight for the items as shown is about 16.5 lbs.

    I watched all your videos prior to hiking the PCT in 2016, the year after you hiked it. Now I'm rewatching some of your videos before I hike it next year in 2025, 9 years later. Really loved your videos. Thanks for putting them together and for keeping them here.

    I just hiked that last desert section in April before entering scissors crossing and you wouldn't believe how it looked after all the rain we got this year. Everything was green and lot of flowers.

    The fall in Washington is one of the most colorful places in the world if you can put up with the rain and fog. To enjoy the splendor of Washington you need to visit us in August if you want sunshine and warm weather. This year is a bad year with all the fires in surrounding states all the smoke is coming here unless the wind is coming off the coast , we have had the worst air quality for 2 weeks, worst than any place in the world. So I guess feel fortunate with what you got because with climate change the future of the PCT might be waking in smoke from Mexico to Canada.

    you don't need rain gear you need a 9 feet by 12 feet plastic tarp from the home depot it will cover everything you need even when walking that will save weight and room for something else

  • @chrisjuarez72

    Hey Ken, I have a question for you. When going into Canada, did you have your passport checked? I don't have one, and was just planning on packing back through Washington.

    • @kenlambdin2505
      @kenlambdin2505 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The actual border crossing was quite casual... (no sign of patrolling there, or even all the way to manning park when I crossed.) Keep your options open, and you can always apply for a re-entry permit a few weeks from your eta if needed (they sent me the approved form pretty quickly by email)... I caught a ride back with another hiker, and did need to present the form/passport for re-entry via the freeway crossing.

Do you think that you can give us an after PCT interview with the things that you learned, if you are different because of the hike, things that you would do differently or leave the same etc?! I would really appreciate a run through of your gear list, the process of sending yourself packages! Thanks!

    Congratulations. You did a fantastic job of chronicling your journey, too, so thank you, a well. I hope you can come back and hike in Washington in the summer sometime. It's a shame that so many through hikers never get to see how spectacular our mountains are when they aren't covered by the rainy season clouds.
