PACIFIC CREST TRAIL - Permits Issued - NOW WHAT ?
Now that the PCTA permit lottery is over, what happens now ? This video discusses additional permit options, and some key things to check and explore as the hike season approaches.
Why is the video color black and white ? This video was shot in sub-zero temperatures, which seemed to have affected my camera settings and color saturation.
Obviously I hope hikers are gathering their gear together (more gear vids to follow), and starting to plan some shakedown hikes.
I would advise prioritizing purchase of your key items eg. Backpack, Tent, Sleep System. This is because some of the most popular items can have a longer than expected lead time. Especially now that hiker plans are starting to firm up, now that the main permit lottery process is completed.
