    Love the setup! Look forward to watching your trek. I just did a section hike from Big Bear (mile 266) to Silverwood Lake (mile 329). Great year to be hiking the PCT.

    Wie ernährst du dich auf dem Trail? In deiner Packliste fehlt das ganze Essen und Trinken

    • @helena_hikes
      @helena_hikes  24 дня назад

      Ja, das gebe ich nie dazu weil es nicht Teil von meinem base weight ist und immer variiert. Meistens linsen, Haferflocken, Ramen, tortillas und viel Nüsse, snickers, etc. immer je nach Verfügbarkeit im Supermarkt. Für die ersten 2 resupplies sende ich Pakete.

    Only two altitude sickness medication tablets? I feel like you should have more than that.

    • @helena_hikes
      @helena_hikes  Месяц назад +1

      They should be enough for what I’m doing. :-) When you are at a point where you need these, you will have to go down to lower elevation immediately. They’re not there for making you feel good at altitude, but for preventing possible damage to lungs and brain. If you have acute altitude sickness, you shouldn’t keep hiking. I could bring more but I think if I would reach a point where I’d need to take them I would make sure to not go to that altitude again or acclimatise properly.

      Altitude sickness. Researchers are still debating about the effectiveness but it has worked in some people: www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/rccm.200406-804OC

      I'm an InyoSAR volunteer. Absolutely do not follow this advice. Especially because you are going late in the season and I'm assuming solo? Relying on others that you may or may not encounter to have a satellite communicator if the need arises is stupid and potentially deadly.

      @@dcl97 thank you for your comment! Yeah I’m definitely not going to leave my inreach at home just because a stranger on the internet told me I won’t need it! I would never go on any thru hike without it.
