[pct-l] Virtual through-hike?

[Tortoise]

I came up with that idea several years ago on this list. I'd add in videos 
of the trail sequenced to your pace.

Then maybe you could meet other virtual hikers and trail angels.

But none of this will compare to the real thing.

It then adjusts the pitch and resistance as you walk to simulate the route.  It dawned on me that one could upload the PCT to this machine, don one's pack, and then proceed to undertake a virtual through-hike!  That way, you can still hike the trail--sort of--without having to take time out of your life, deal with resupplies, mosquitoes, sunburn, dehydration, suncups, dangerous stream crossings, hypothermia, rattlesnakes, bear cans, blisters....
