What's up anon? I've never hiked the pct, but I've done a couple 1000 mile sections on the AT. If I was going to give any advice it would be to start hiking as much as possible before your trip. Do a bunch of overnighters and really fine tune your gear. Bring only the essentials. Also, before I do a long hike I try to eat as healthy as I can for a few months before the trip. I also tend to do a bunch of stretching (yoga). An hour or so a day. You definitely don't have to do these things, but I enjoy it and it really seems to help. Especially the stretching. If you're looking for more specific advice just say the word.

PCT itself is generally quite easy unless you are going while there still is a lot of snow. Very moderate grade throughout and generally smooth trail. It rarely goes on the tops of peaks itself but skirts the sides of them since it still has to be fit for pack animals too. Personally I think it's important to forget about getting through it quickly and easily and take many of the often more difficult side trails that go on top of peaks such as the South Sister (In your OP pic), Mt McLoughlin, Castle Dome, Mt Eddy, etc. Go on them based on how you feel. Bad day with sore, twisted ankles? Maybe skip the rocky peak, but if you are feeling good, they are typically worth the trip

I've been running a bit, me and my buddies were planning on doing a 3 day practice trip where we hike about 15 miles per day and camp in the boonies at night with our gear.

biggest thing other than just general fitness is to make sure all your gear works like you want it to on trips ahead of this. most importantly, whether your sleep setup actually lets you consistently get good sleep.

Some sections are extremely dangerous. If you start to feel the hair on your neck standing up, immediately get off the trail, get at least 5 miles away, and don't get back on the trail for another 15-20 miles. If it's light out you might stand a chance, but if it's dark just run.

I want friends that I can do shit like this with. All my friends are lame and don't like camping/hiking and I always solo my hikes. I love solitude and all but I want a group of bros that I can like take on the world with.

Nope, separated from wife, totally broke, lost everything, went in debt living off credit cars, living at Dad's house until permit start.

Bought all gear and San Diego flight with last $750 on credit cards, had 3x EBT from different states I had recently moved around in, and laundered EBT for supplies like smokes, hotel floor space, yaktrax, and a new set of trekking poles once.

Big time. Trail was wonderful, people were great with lasting friendships, restored faith in humanity, met some beautiful women and got laid a couple times, partied and threw up a lot, had some great alone time with god, never was happier with absolutely nothing to my name knowing everything was consistently going to work out.

Years later I finally filed for bankruptcy over 10k because it had already been written off. Now I can't finance a house for another 8 months but whatever, time flys.

Trail chicks are indeed gross as fuck. They're all tough lesbian, feminist, social media whores, aren't hiker trash, OR have their pick of the litter the entire trail. Very gross. One girl I hiked with for a couple months was clean but she had nasty tats and looked like a dumpster fire.

Lots of somewhat normal girls at T.H.C, Lake Tahoe 4th of July, bars, and Hiker Days tho.

How heavy was u backpack? My would be around 33 lbs when I would go tomorrow (external pack frame) but many ultrafags say you shouldn't have anything over 20 lbs on a long thru hike ( I understand that less weight is better but I dont want to spend shit ton of money into UL gear).

33 pounds is on the upper range of what you want to have. How big are you though,? if you are a tall, burly man you might have no trouble with this.
