[pct-l] Hiking in Rain Gear

[Dusty Wallace]

Good rain gear is a must. This is coming from some one who lives and grew up
hiking in Washington. The rain can get to be a little bit annoying at times
but with practice you can set up your tent with one getting anything else
wet. The key to this having a tent that you can set up the fly and the
footprint first then hang your tent inside and set it up. Practice makes
perfect. Als a good rain jacket and rain pants are great. Ionce it stops
rainging I will take off my rain jacket but keep my pants on because of the
abundance of undergrowth that will soak you as you walk.

OK     ...so I loathe hiking in any type of rain jacket.   So how do most
hikers deal with the rain in the northern secion(s) of the PCT, especially
Washington ??   Can you just hike through it like most of us did on the AT
or is it too cool ??

  Thanks in advance    ...
