[pct-l] Time

How old are you, Mike?  If close to retirement, I'd section hike and then plan to do the whole thing when you really have the time. 

Do you have a job or skills that will easily land you a job when you get home - including insurance?  

What are your living costs - like house payments, utilities?  

Only you can answer these questions. 

Yes, you can hike 45 miles a day if you're a professional hiker. Otherwise it's a lot of wear and tear on the body, especially coming out of the gate.

Hello fellow PCTers!  I'm supper psyched about tentatively through hiking the PCT next April 2012. I mentioned plans to hike this an need for 4.5 months off. At the time he said no problem. I recently brought this subject up to check with him and he was shocked by the required time needed.  Is it possible to hike 45 miles a day with no zeros in order to complete the hike in 2 months OR do most agree this adventure is worth quitting their job for?  I want to embark on this amazing adventure sooo badly!
If I had done this right, I would have timed this hike in between jobs back in 2008!

Mike
