First Church of The Masochist Hikes

So how do we get our gear out to the trail when we do these destination hikes? The CDT is another one where we have to fly and since some items can be problematic in a carryon we usually check a bag. I don’t like just checking a backpack since straps and buckles are prone to breakage so we use these $5 ikea duffles. Then when we get to our destination we can just give them away. Then for a carryon we use our mostly empty packs like me here or just carry a large stuff sack like Jen.
We did the PCT in 2020, the AT in 2021 (with a bit of extra), and now it’s time to make an attempt at the CDT. Taters and I are going southbound this time so we’ll be flying to Glacier in a few days to get started. Already it’s looking like we’ll have to reroute after the first 50 miles due to a dead cattle / grizzly closure. Should be an adventure…
Still mostly working on dive videos from Komodo but Taters and I are currently CDT bound at long last. We’re out in Colorado for a few last stops and then it’s only one more week till we should be starting out southbound from Glacier! #cdt2022 #cdtsobo2022 #continentaldividetrail #thruhike #longdistancehiking #firstchurchofthemasochist
How was the vis? It was ok…
Jen on the prowl for all the clownfish
After an eventful week on the awesome Mermaid II liveaboard diving our way from Bali to Komodo and back we’re back on land and working on all the GoPro footage while starting the journey towards the CDT
“Did you see anything out there?” Can confirm, saw a fish or two…
