SHARED EXPECTATIONS

SHARED EXPECTATIONS

Leave No Trace Camping

Get up and break camp together.
Re-group at lunch stop.
Re-group for evening campsite.

Each evening common dinners together.  Rotation for 2 men to prepare meal; 2 men to clean up and hang food, etc. on bear lines; other 4 men have free time.  

Buddy System:  Rick & George/Matt & Jason/Graham & Josh/ Bob & Duke

Each pair responsible for their shelter as well as food for their own breakfast, lunch, and snacks. 

Most of what we cook (morning & evening) will be boiling water, so we can share 2-3 stoves with 2-3 pots.  

Shared gear for purifying drinking water.

Evening campfires.  

Sunny days, without a cloud in the sky.

A GREAT ADVENTURE!

Day 4 is a layover day.

I am on board with the expectations laid out in the post. That sounds great. Especially the sunny part.

Regarding the follow-up post: by layover, do you mean a day where we do not move? If so, I would like to express my desire to not take a layover day. I am most excited about the adventure of backpacking and traveling on the trail. I'm also trying to include multiple NW activities in my limited time off and would rather not take an extra day on the trail.

What do other people think?
