Hello all!

About to start a section of the PCT in Washington!

I just downloaded FarOut and have been trying to get the hang of it before I head to the trail! I downloaded my section and have been looking at the waypoint comments but all of the comments are from fall of 2025 or before, nothing recent. I have already tried to sync the guide, so it should be updated, especially since recently bought it.

Is there something else I need to do to get the right information?

Hey everyone! About do venture on my first backpacking trip (a 250 mile section of the PCT in Washington). I've been doing lots of research on gear and my partner and I are getting very excited!

I have recently purchased a Sawyer Squeeze and I'm wondering what pieces are recommended to bring on the trail. I will obviously bring the squeeze filter itself, but as for the cleaning coupling, cleaning plunger, and bladder I have seen several difference things.

Many people leave the bladder behind and choose to attach the filter to a smart water bottle. Does anyone recommend this or advise against it?

Additionally, does everyone carry the plunger to backflush the filter around once a week?

Thank you!

Hello all!

I'm hiking a section of the PCT in Washington this July as my friend and I's first thru hike! We plan to start at White Pass or Chinook Pass resupply in Snoqualmie Pass then Steven's Pass and then head to Stehekin and ferry to Chelan then heading back to Seattle to fly out!

I have a couple questions about how to get to Stehekin from the trail. I've seen on several maps that there is a shuttle from High Bridge. However, I have also read that this there are no outside roads leading there. I didn't know if that most hikers used the shuttle or if there is a highway crossing that people hitch from or even a separate trail that goes to town?

I'd love any and all information and tips! Thanks so much!!
