Trash bags would have helped her out immensely. Key, light-weight
gear I carry is about three 33-gallon trash bags. Makes a great
emergency poncho. Can help keep things from getting wetter. Can
use as head cover. Can use as lower body cover, etc.
This is one of the key items I teach to carry in the Hug-a-Tree
session for kids.

One of
the best disaster trail stories I know was a trail journal
post by SoloGirl (aka Censored, aka Katalina) at
Postholer.com for the 2009 PCT season - her entry for Jun 3
I
don't know for sure if the link works and you probably have
to register (free) at Postholer to see it, but try
If the
link is non-functional,
go
to postholer,com
login or register
try the link again
if that doesn't work
go to trail journals for PCT 2009
look down the list for SoloGirl
go to her 38th post (for Jun 3)
Great
story.? She made some mistakes (more than most, but we all
have some under our belt) and she describes the consequences
really well.
I met
her about 2 weeks later, just South of Muir Trail Ranch, and
we had a nice talk.?
If you
don't know it, Postholer is a great site originally
dedicated to the Pacific crest trail but with a lot of very
useful stuff for us.
