[pct-l] PCT Library: movies, podcasts, books, etc.

[Austin Williams]

Hello,

As promised my wife and I have compiled an online PCT Library of sorts.
Took a lot of time!  I'm proud to say we're finished (though I'm sure we'll
be adding bits to it here and there and correcting any errors).  You can
check it here: http://www.planyourhike.com/media/index.html


Also, as promised, here's the plain text list of all the items compiled:

Movies/Videos

# "Trail Dance". This is a one minute clip of the sacred Monument 78 tail
dance.

# "Fracis Tapon - First 100 Mile South Bound". This is an 8 minute video
showing the first 100 miles of the PCT from Canada.

# "How to Hike the Pacific Crest Trail". Twenty-two successful thru-hikers
share their hard-won wisdom on these two, recently updated instructional
videos. This two video series is available only on DVD. You can buy the DVDs
through Campor.

# "The Pacific Crest Trail Experience- The History of the PCT". This is a 9
part online documentary about the history of the Pacific Crest Trail. You

documentary about one man's incredible thru-run of the Pacific Crest Trail.

alluring lore from the Pacific Crest Trail. It has not yet finished
production, but you can watch the trailer here. You can pre-order your copy
of the DVD at their website.

# "Walking the West". This is an award wining documentary about two dreamers
who quit their jobs, cashed in their savings, and thru-hiked the Pacific
Crest Trail. You can watch this online, for free, or you can buy the higher
quality DVD version. The DVD version can be purchased from either their
website or (cheaper) from Amazon.

miles left for him to complete a continuous path from Mexico to Canada. Over
100 new hikers interviewed along with some of your favorites like Teatree,
Roni from Israel, Nabor J, etc. You can buy the DVD from Squatch's website,
