So excited for you to be on this trip! I hope you and Sparky have an awesome time! I'll look forward to updates. And great that Hiker Trash is out in the world!

Thanks. I think instead of doing videos like I did last year on the AT thru-hike I'm going to do 30 second YouTube shorts every day. We'll see how that goes as far as getting a signal. I hear it's more remote than the AT.

I don't like YouTube :) I'll be waiting for you here at Substack

Good luck, Bill. I recently read “The Last Englishman” about the PCT through-hike. I will be interested to learn your trail name :-). Amazing trail! I have never through-hiked it, but walked and ran a few hundred miles of it in different states, in parts.

Thanks Egor. I am taking a really cool book about the trail to read on the airplane this weekend. I got my trail name in 2023 on the AT – Uncle Bill – when I was hiking with my niece, "Sparky." I'm thru-hiking with her again, but this time on the PCT!
