Today was my first zero hiking day and second zero PCT day. I spent the day going around Idyllwild with Brandon and Myriam while consuming town food.
I did a bit more resupply to make up for what I spent on yesterday’s day hike but otherwise I was pretty much already ready to go.

We also spent some time browsing the outfitter and Myriam replaced her backpack to lower her base weight. Besides this gaiters were purchased so everyone now hikes with gaiters.
For dinner we went to a Mexican place for 1 dollar tacos, the tacos were not very big so we had 8 tacos each.
My name is Martin Caspersen, I live in the very flat scandinavian country of Denmark. Most of my life I have lived just north of the capital (Copenhagen), I have however lived a short while in Brisbane, Australia.
I have a big love for being outdoors. In my day-to-day life most of my time outdoors is spent running where I generally try and push for distance over speed. When I get a chance what I really like to do is to go hiking. In particular I like hiking in mountainous and generally strenous terrain. Until 2018 my hiking experience waslimited to somewhat shorter trips with the highlights being a 4-day hike in New Zealand and a thru-hike of the GR20 on Corsica.
In 2018 that changed as I thru-hiked the PCT, the Pacific Crest Trail, in the US. I have dreamed about thru-hiking the PCT ever since I first heard about it in 2011. The thru-hike was an amazing experience.
