Best Way to Navigate The PCT

This is by far the BEST way to navigate the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and other long-distance trails. FarOut takes the guesswork out of what's ahead by giving you detailed train information on your thru-hike of choice.

I used this app (previously Guthooks) on my hike of the PCT and came to absolutely love it. It made my time on the trail that much more enjoyable and relaxing. Not to mention, it will save you a lot of time planning for those unexpected trail moments.

If you're headed out on a thru-hike or even a section hike of a long-distance trail, head over to FarOut to see if your trail is listed. If it is, spend the money and download this incredible tool for backpacking!

I'm enjoying your channel, just found it today. I was thinking of doing the PCT next year with the help of the group you went with, but in a another video you kinda made it clear that if "hiking your own hike" was a priority, then the group thing wouldn't be a good fit for me... plus I get weirded out by people in groups.

I liked this video a lot because navigation for me can be speed killer. I spend a lot of time making sure I am where I think I am, and I'd rather be using those hours (yes, hours) making miles and not feeling lost. I've seen farout used on another channel, so watching your video now, I think that's the direction I'll go with. Thanks man! I'll probably comment on more of your videos. I've got more trips planned for this year and for whatever I do next year, thinking at least the Condor Trail, but also the PCT.

Ty, ty, ty...
I had originally thought about thru hiking the Appalachian Trail, but now looking at section hiking...
Over 3 years, love how far out has it set up for 9 sections...basically 3/yr.
I may take your course, although many you tubers have shared so much and have gleaned alot already...

Fellow PCT (2019 data) Hiker here: Nothing to add. It was such a godsend. Was good to know that that one cistern had a rotting bear in it....And it didn't feel like using the app took anything away from being "out there".

But make sure you have a paper map & compass backup especially if you're hiking alone. Phones die/break, get lost, and fall in the water.
Kinda surprised you didn't make that point
