[pct-l] Couples Thru Hiking

[John Papini]

Hello fellow PCT-L ers. After two years off (my first thru hike was in 2016) I am ready to return in 2019, this time with my fiancée. Hoping to get some advice from the group about couples hiking, in terms of habits on trail, setting expectations, gear choices, etc. 

So far:

1. We will be using a 2 person ee quilt, which she will carry. I will carry the tent.

2. Otherwise our gear will be separate. We will each carry our own water filters, food, stoves, etc.

3. If one of us wants to stop for a break or for the day, we’ll stop. The faster of us will accommodate the slower. 

What else? Should we look into some kind of two way radio? 

Any other advice?

Thanks!
