Description
Thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail is 90% mental. Each year, thousands of backpackers take to the Pacific Crest Trail with the intention of successfully thru-hiking the 2,650-mile footpath that extends from Mexico to Canada. Despite months of research, thousands of dollars poured into their gear, and countless hours dedicated to grinding away on the StairMaster, most hikers fall short of their goal. Why? They neglected to prepare for the most challenging element of a five month backpacking trip. While the PCT presents extraordinary physical challenges, it is the psychological and emotional struggles that drive people off the trail. Conquering these mental obstacles is the key to success. This groundbreaking book focuses on the most important and overlooked piece of equipment of all- the gear between one’s ears. Filled with first-hand, touching yet humorous vignettes and down-to-earth advice that both instructs and inspires, Pacific Crest Trials gives readers the mental road map they’ll need to hike from Mexico to Canada. Following up on his wildly popular guide to thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in Appalachian Trials, Zach Davis has teamed up with 2015 PCT thru-hiker Carly Moree to bring readers the ultimate psychological and emotional guide to prepare for the Pacific Crest Trail. In Pacific Crest Trials readers will learn:
- Goal setting techniques that will assure hikers reach Canada
- The common early stage pitfalls and how to avoid them
- How to beat “the Death of the Honeymoon”
- The importance and meaning of “hiking your own hike”
- How to adapt amongst drastically different terrains, weather patterns, gear and logistical needs
- Five strategies for unwavering mental endurance
- How to save money on gear purchases
- Tips for enjoying rather than enduring each of the five million steps along the journey
- Advice for staving off post-trail depression from one of the country's most respected trail angels
- Nutritional guidance for avoiding post-trail weight gain
