[pct-l] Heroism & Bravery?

[ned at pacificcrestcustombuilders.com]

Scott,

back on Jan. 31st. I started publishing a series of first-hand accounts from 
hikers who have had or witnessed acts of heroism/bravery on their thru 
hikes. The struggles most thru hikers have with shoe-related issues and 
blisters can be extremely difficult and painful. You may have been able to 
avoid it all with more thorough preparation, but once it starts, it's a 
battle of will over pain and deserves mention.
