4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Practical Information, May 29, 2008
This review is from: How to Hike the Pacific Crest Trail (VHS Tape)
This video is largely a collection of interviews with a couple dozen folks who have hiked the entire trail. Each hiker is given as much time as they need to discuss a wide variety of topics: finding and treating water, dealing with snow, resupply strategies, etc. It was fun getting to know the different hikers as they expounded on their experiences on the trail. Many of the interviewees go into great detail about how they dealt with the challenges of the trail. If you are planning on hiking all or part of the PCT this video would be a very valuable source.
I greatly enjoyed the movie, but would like to offer some cautions. This is not really a travelogue sort of video. You will learn a lot about people's hikes, but the movie does not contain a start-to-finish account of anyone's journey. There are very few scenic shots from along the trail. Instead, this is a straightforward informational video designed to aid people in preparing to hike the PCT.
