Has anyone one come across a place to buy hooks similar to this? Something like the hooks on the front of gaiters...

I'm planning for ten days food and supply. Is the only negative the weight if my pack and legs can take it? There may be times I move slow or take a side trip where I have a fortnight's food on board. Will I be making a tactical error here?

How is the rain issue on using side entry tents like the Tarptents? I was/am looking the the rainbow and one generalized question I have is about getting rain on gear/stuff when you get in/out of tent?? Never really even seen a side entry tent in person..

What kind of food is everyone taking on the trail?

I have my name on the map list. I need to know how long it will take before we put the order in and how long will it take to print out and have them posted to San Diego. As I then will have them sent to me in Oz land and want to make sure I receive them before I leave on my roundabout trip to USA. I leave on the 1st April. Gives a window of only 8 weeks. I hope this will be enough time.

i am really thankful for this group, and all its diversity, and conflicting points of view. it is helping me realize more and more about what i want out of this hike, who i want to spend my time with, and who/what to look out for. while some of the threads can steer in different directions, sometimes even hurtful, judgmental, and just in bad taste, it at least give me perspective of what to expect, and how to approach certain situations. This trail, the decision to hike it, and joining this group are already making me a better person, and i have to thank a lot of you folks, (who i CANT wait to meet and hike with in about 3 months)! keep it up class of 2012! i have never thru-hiked before, but i feel as i am prepping to hike with one of the most awesome classes to date! thanks folks!

Last night it was just me and another guy workin' at the shop. I have the PCT map up in one of the storage rooms, so we got to talkin about the hike during our break... Actually seeing the map left him SHOCKED at the distance I would be traveling, I don't think the numbers translated until he had a visual... This of course led to me daydreaming and havin' a little fun while I blasted a dam gate... After an entire year of research, reading, and $ raising, it's almost here... I know you guys all feel the same..
