Why speed hike (talk FKT, Peter past run with Eric)
 
 
What we packed / what we wish we had or didn’t have (rice bars / tent poles)
 
How the 2 days played out - hiking & camping
 
 
  •  well tested, waterproof but athletic shoe or hiker (low/light) 
  • Peter used Salomon Trail Runners https://amzn.to/2JhEUso
 
What we would have changed (better bug protection, or would have gone at a different time of year—heard it would be buggy but didn’t know it would be that bad
  • less food / more ‘fuel’
  • Compress / premake meals 
  • More research on sites / mile markers
  • Hydration packs vs. move water twice
 
 
What we did right 
 
What we learned (one in a bad mood, other will rally \ we do this $hit so we can get to the end and have that reward of sitting down.)
 
What’s next?
