[pct-l] Carrying Trail Info / Data

[bodhisattvavow at hotmail.com (Hotmail)]

Generally, if you cut up yout paperwork enough, it is not too much of a
burden.  As for what stuff to bring:  The Data Book was my primary reference
while on the trail because it gave me so much information at a glance.  The
guidebook is also essential for getting un-lost and for interpreting the
(often) limited info in the Data Book.  Make sure you bring the water report
for southern California.  Yogi's book also has some useful water info but it
was mainly indispensible as a town guide.  As for the "Town Guide"  I didn't
use it and I didn't miss it.  Most hikers who had it said that the info was
very often wrong or out of date.  Hope this helps.
Peace and Love,
Matt

> Hi, 2007er here with a rookie question.  How does the thru-hiker carry all
the trail info needed for a thru-hike.  I'm sure most people have maps, data
and water info packed into their re-supply boxes for each respective
section, but it would still seem like a lot of paperwork to carry while on
the trail, even if it would be for one section at a time.

info to bring no a thru-hike.
