Replying to Pros and Cons of hiking the PCT?
I want to make the entire trek some point in my life, have any of you done it? Know anybody that has done the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail)? What are the pros and cons of doing so?
I can imagine
Pros:
-Not many can say they have made the entire trek, it is a big accomplishment
- It's such a good feeling to set yourself free and just be a normal human.. surviving on the bare minimum
- It's human nature to long for adventure
- Free Travel and see beautiful sites
- You will come out with a new perspective on life
- Drugs, if you know what to look for in the land.. you can easily get a quick natural high from a variety of cactuses and plants
Cons:
- Will have to take time.. a lot of time off from your profession.. basically seems like you have to go off the grid
- Risk of death? It's not impossible
- Extremely Hot, and can be Extremely Cold
- Will literally have to survive, in a way which modern humans are not adapted to do so
