[pct-l] How you hiked your hike

[Josh]

Austin,
I took the poll.  Very nice.  I wish more would take it.  It only takes a
few mins.

1 thing that I think you should change somehow: The Question about $$$ of a
PCT Thru-hike.  I SERIOUSLY doubt, that the majority of thru hikers can
thru-hike the PCT which includes Clothes, Gear, Food, Water, Transportation,
Lodging (in town), etc. for UNDER $6000!  But so far, the majority of those
polled have put <$6k.  I THINK that they're NOT including the cost of the
gear.  I mean, if one is to consider Pack, Tarp/Tent, multiple pairs of
shoes/Boots, Stove, and a few misc tools, you're basically looking at around
$1k or even more if you begin your hike early & require pricier cold-weather
gear.  From what others have said in past PCT-L Posts, the typical cost ~$5
or $6k PLUS GEAR.  That's just my 2c.

Maybe the best way is for others on this list to take the poll while taking
careful consideration to that Q.

Hello,

I was a southbounder in 2008.  I haven't been on the PCT-L since then.  It's
awesome to be back!

I'm thinking of doing a PCT-planning workshop for some people I know up here
in the NorthWest.

I was hoing I could get some info about how others planned and hiked
*their*hike.  So I made a short list of mulitple-choice poll questions to
help with that.  I was hoping, if anyone was interested, they could answer a
few.
Should take about two minutes if your up for it.

It's at: http://www.planyourhike.com/polls/

I hike ultra-light, and I know that's not for everyone.  So it'll be
interesting to see how others did things.

Thanks!
