    What was preventing the drive all the way to Humber Park? (Maybe you mentioned it in the down video that I forgot). Too bad you missed the summit. It was pretty cool. We camped on snow up there on Memorial Day weekend when we did it. We had to get permits for that and the Devil’s Slide trail as we didn’t have a PCT long distance permit.

      I upgraded to NiteCore batteries from Anker this year too after the hike. Looks like a good setup. I’m a bit more minimalist but close. I’m at about 14-15 pounds. You might consider the toothpaste tablets. They are lighter due to no water content. I also like them as you can count out exactly how many you need and there is no passing weight except the mini ziploc I use to carry them. The extra phone was interesting and a good idea in such an iconic section. I would be devastated to break my phone camera!

    • @sheepdog0059
      @sheepdog0059 Місяць тому

      @mjirving29 I will look into the toothpaste tabs! I may pare down some things this next hike. We shall see. I definitely think carrying the extra phone will be my go-to. If I have an issue with my other phone, I have one on hand, and the camera quality is great on the newer phones. Plus, no worries of a more delicate physical single purpose camera.
