    It does suck that you buy the suit and pretty much ditch the pants (and that they no longer make the even cheaper emergency rain jacket that used to sell for about $10), but one suggestion for the pants is to keep them in the car for days when you're going to be doing something like sitting in bleachers during a windy day, etc., and use them as a WIND layer so that your legs don't get as cold while sitting around. No more feeling that wind pass right through your pants to your legs.

    3:18 Thank you for the bear/food reminder. I work for the agency in my state that must handle all bear complainants. So many of our incidents could be avoided if people would just manage their food/trash responsibly. Unfortunately, we have a lot of tourists that find it fun to feed bears and then go home at the end of the week. They don’t see the detrimental effects of their actions once they return home. On a brighter note, thank you for your tips and tricks videos. I am heading out to hike segments 15 - 28 in a couple of weeks. This will be my first attempt at a long hike. Your videos have been super helpful in my planning for this adventure.

    Bustang is so underrated. It's a fabulous service and if a person has all day to get back to Denver, it's a beautiful relaxing ride (IME!) with a change of bus in Grand Junction. Honestly the views along the route are beautiful. The bus makes several stops including one that allows time to buy snacks and things from a convenience store. Big fan of the Bustang/Outrider services.

Instead of just straight down the CE southbound (which you didnt seem too excited about!!) gonna hop between all the 14rs inside the loop ... not necessarily on the CE trails...but on another trails within the wilderness/national forest areas between.

      I’ve used them on some of my CT hikes. I used the BV500 but I think a faster hiker could use a smaller one with a few carefully planned resupplies. The toughest stretch is US 50 to Spring Creek Pass, about 127 miles or so without good resupply options. So use that stretch to help you gauge your needs. Hope this helps!

    • @OutsideComfortZone
      @OutsideComfortZone 5 місяців тому

      That's a great idea. You definitely should tag San Luis Peak. It's only 1.5 miles to the top off the CT at San Luis Pass, so 3 miles round trip. Lots and lots of folks leave their bags at the pass because you can see them almost the entire climb. In fact, the last time I went there, it was so calm and still in the morning that I could hear the hikers at the top of the peak. Hope this helps, and hope you have a great adventure!

    I've been weekend warrior the past 2 years in Colorado and would like to do the CT but am maxing out at 10 miles / day. What can I do to increase mileage? already have 11 lbs baseweight. I'd like to think i could build trail legs weekend warrioring, but is that only a thing with a thru?

    • @OutsideComfortZone
      @OutsideComfortZone 5 місяців тому

      This is a great question, and it's always tough to answer. That said, I think you are doing the right thing by lowering your baseweight and getting out to train on weekends. My experience has been that you can build trail legs on trail somewhat, but that's all dependent on you not getting injured first. So, I would try my best to do two things: walk with your pack an hour a day 5 days a week (even if this is not at an incline), and see if there is any way to give yourself more time on trail so you don't feel rushed. 10 miles a day will still get you to Durango, and you'd probably love the trip more if you had time to smell the proverbial roses. No matter what, keep on doing the weekend warrioring--it's worth it no matter what. Hope this helps!

It's also going to really help you boost your spirits when you have a tough day to know that your family will be there somewhere along the way. Hope this helps!

      Hey man didn't mean to hurt your feelings, I do appreciate your time to help people discover the CT. When trying to figure out logistics it's helpful to know about how much each option will cost, so the difference of $150 or more could make a difference on choosing how to get from point A to Point B, discovering late in the planning that one choice isn't workable makes it frustrating.

    • @OutsideComfortZone

      I'm really sorry for how I responded earlier--I was having a tough day and shouldn't have responded so rudely. When I did that flight, Frontier was running a biweekly shuttle for 40 bucks that it apparently isn't running anymore. I'll be sure to note that moving forward. That said, the Bustang would be a great affordable option to get back to Denver for $43 bucks. I hope this helps and sorry again for being a jerk earlier.
