The trail snakes across 2,650 miles of the most scenic terrain in the US and crests some of the highest peaks in the Sierra Nevada (including 13,153 foot high Forester Pass). Ristau took about 4 and a half months to complete the hike and arrived at the end of the trail in relatively good shape. According to the article he didn’t get sick during the trek (rare for long distance hikers) and went completely stoveless (see my previous post on camping essentials).

I am glad that it has inspired you to post your own top five list of camping essentials and I really like your website. I cannot argue that the ontheroad top five list is for the comfort camper rather than for somebody trying to survive in the wilderness. But in my opinion each list has their value - depending on the circumstances. So thanks a lot again. I will check back on your website regularly from now on! :) BTW, here is a good packing-list with more than the bear essentials, but I guess it is better to dismiss an item than forget it! http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/articles/view.asp?id=7 First of all thanks for your interest in our post.
