Snoqualmie Pass to Stevens Pass via the PCT Pretrip Planning.

Well due to college finals, becoming single and a multitude of other stress factors my planning got cut a lot shorter than I wanted. I had to mix and match some stuff I had already bought and design a meal plan that would work and still be on the lighter side. Here's my gearlist and food menu. One or 2 items I might of left off the list since the 4 oz trail guide was not on my scale in time to make it to the list. The bivy was also replaced with the new MYOG bug bivy which only weighs 6.1 oz, so some things counter acted each other and it's close enough for me...

It was paired down in the amount of bags, but this is a picture as I separated out the food per day.


Later I'll post a blog on the trail burritos I made from some ingredients laying around the house.
