What Challenges Are There?
In addition to the physical difficulties and mental isolation, surviving in nature for months itself can be a tremendous challenge.
Hikers cook their own meals, and sometimes they have to endure days without eating.
Securing water is another crucial requirement because not all the water sources are safe to drink.
Hikers are advised to carry the latest PCT Water Report, a list of all water sources.
