Day 8. Sleet. Gloves failed. Poop bags - the ones I pack for actual shit - now on my hands. Never thought my waste-packers would save my fingers from frostbite. Desperate? Yes. Effective? Mostly. #PCT #PCTNOBO #Day8 #TrailHack #ImprovisedGear #SleetStorm #OregonPCT #HikerProblems #ThruHike
Close-up POV photo taken during a cold sleet storm, showing a rain-soaked arm gripping a trekking pole. After discovering that the hiking gloves were not waterproof, a black plastic poop bag has been pulled over the glove as an improvised waterproof overmitt and tucked beneath the gray rain-shell sleeve. Water beads heavily across the sleeve, plastic bag, and pole handle, while large droplets cling to the camera lens. The rocky trail below is saturated with water, slush, and runoff.

Trail tip: Always pack TP. But when you don't... aim carefully 🌿💩
