Hey /out/. My dad is taking me on a backpacking trip through the bob marshall wilderness in 6 months. This trip will be completely off trail with map and compass. I’m starting to do training hikes soon, but what am I in for and what do I need to know to prepare. Will be something along the lines of 5 days and 30-50 miles

I grew up in the Bob Marshall.

Be prepared for any weather at any time. I've seen it snow every month of the year, and I've also sat in rivers for relief from 110F temps.

In June you'll probably still be seeing deep snow patches on north slopes. Other stuff will be very wet.

Mosquitoes and horseflies will be prevalent, so carry something to deal with that gayness. OFF Deep Woods is a good call.

You NEED bear spray at the very least. If you can manage it, you also need a short shotgun with 3-4 slugs and 1 00 buckshot as a final last-ditch "fuck you"

Carry a whistle. Sounds gay, and it is gay, but the sound will carry better than your voice if you get lost.

Oh, and have fun. It's my favorite place on earth. Eat lots of huckleberries. The streams in there almost never see humans, so you could throw a bare hook in the water and reel in trout and whitefish by the dozen.
