  • The Case For Pants > Shorts on the PCT

The clothing a person wears on a thru-hike is going to be an intensely personal choice. Unless you’re down to carry a ton of unnecessary extra weight, your hiking outfit will be what you wear all day, every day, for four to six months. You might change out of it to sleep, you might choose not to. Comfort and practicality for any weather conditions you may encounter are key factors to consider. For me, shorts didn’t cut it, and I’ll tell you why.

Hiker Trash Vogue

Over the Mountains and through the Woods to a Second Chance

Second Chance Hiker sits on a rock with a sprawling backdrop of Southern California desert behind him, a serious look on his face.

“Hey everybody,” he says as he takes off his hat. “It’s Second Chance, and I have some news to share with you all.”
