Major expenses of the PCT will be gear, on-trail food, off-trail resupply stops with groceries, reward food & beer, and the occasional bed while we do laundry, edit, charge things, relax and catch up with family + friends online. We calculated that this hike will cost approximately $19,500 for both of us. Our gear alone will be $7,800 and our projected hiking expenses a little over $11,000. We are confident we can do this trip… this trip will happen.

We will take the time to check with other hikers’ total costs were on their hike of the PCT to get better expectations on how much this adventure will cost.

We will also think of some ways to do some fundraising like painting, mobile car detailing, or fall family photoshoots to help raise money for our goal. This hike will happen!
We are in the process of making some T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, laptops & Waterbottle Stickers to help fundraise.
We will give some merch away as spot prizes to say thanks for supporting, subscribing, being a fan of our FB Page, etc. Stay tuned.

We have other things in mind also, that we will drop when it’s closer to the hike.
“Merch is coming!”
