Legend's pacific Crest trail thru hike 2011by jgar15151,713 views
LOL - I opened a package with a double edged dagger and cut through my fingernail too as well as my finger....I feel your pain! I might be hiking this next year and I worry about crossing the rivers since I'm short...I hope I can make it.

GREAT video to help people visualize some of the conditions they may experience. I'll add several technique notes to the ones made already. There are several “teachable moments” here, I think, though these are clearly serious and experienced backpackers.

Several hikers reposition both trekking poles simultaneously. Better to keep 3 points of contact with the bottom whenever possible and move only one thing (one foot or one pole tip) at a time.

Has good illustration about why it is good, as a solo hiker, to wait to cross until you have others available who can lend a hand. The helper at Bear Creek did a good job of getting himself upstream of the hiker in trouble to break the current (though he should have brought at least one trekking pole with him).

I'll second the prior comment about loosening the hipblet and the sternum strap and add a suggestion that trekking pole straps be looped very loosely on the palm rather than tight at the wrist. Attachments cause problems if you go down. It may also help to temporarily lengthen shoulder straps because it lowers the center of gravity of the pack.

I think the river crossings are my biggest concern. Hopefully I find out this spring. PCT 2010!

I dont feel the music is out of place here - crossings like that are difficult and have real risks - everyone there worked together and made it. But situations like that are often even more dangerous than they look, and that looked 'narly' as you said.
If someone had slipped and gone it, I think it suddenly would have been "THAT bad."
Anyway, good stuff all on getting across.
