Planning a Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike can feel overwhelming. Scattered blogs, outdated forums, and endless gear lists make it hard to know what’s actually worth your time and money.
That’s why we created Trail & Error: The Ultimate Resource for Thru-Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail — a proven, all-in-one guide built from our combined 8,000+ miles of backpacking experience and 384+ hours of research and trail-tested preparation.
This isn’t just another blog or book. It’s a step-by-step resource designed to save you from costly mistakes and wasted time. Inside, you’ll find:
Gear recommendations that actually hold up over 2,600+ miles
Budget breakdowns and money-saving strategies
Resupply and logistics planning (without the overwhelm)
Hard-earned wisdom from hikers who’ve been there — and made it to Canada
Every season, thousands of hikers set out on the PCT. For less than the cost of a pair of trail runners or a Jetboil, this guide gives you the knowledge, confidence, and strategies to make sure your thru-hike is one of them.
Trail & Error is the one resource you’ll keep coming back to, before and during your PCT journey.
