Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsA great adventure and a wonderful resource to have in WA. Absolutely loved the whole experience and can't wait to do it again.
Your Best Equipment
All of it, but gaiters were probably what I least expected to appreciate, but they made me feel bullet proof.
Your Worst Equipment
The thing I carried the whole way and only used once (and only because I felt I should to justify carrying them) was sunglasses!
Advice for Others
If you're thinking about doing it - do your research, test run your gear and go for it!
