3 days with NO sleep + a broken backpack 🏜️ (PCT Mile 600)

Описание: Backpack is toast, body is barely hanging on, and I haven't slept in over three days. The silver lining? Multiple trail magic appearances and an unforgettable birthday thanks to the PCT community. They know I'm struggling, and they pick me up anyway.

If it wasn't for knowing that the Sierras are just ahead, the likelihood of me sticking out my thumb at the next intersection and tapping out due to the unforgiving Mojave Desert is 100%. After all, this whole thing is completely optional... right? Between dodging SO many rattlesnakes, everything trying to bite or stab me, and my gear literally falling apart, I am officially over the desert. It's just not yet done with me.

I told myself before I started this journey that the only situations that would get me to quit would be death, injury, or being physically forced. Little did I know the magnitude of the mental game. After not sleeping for days, I am pushed to the absolute brink.

I use the app Relive to create satellite maps with GPS and metadata I synced from my Garmin watch daily on trail, complete with pins showing the spots I found most photogenic!
