You really ought to wait until you have met and chewed the fat with Yogi
before you trash talk her. But like Georgi stated so well.........you
probably won't get many takers with your opinion. And by the
way...........Yogi's got thousands of miles in those stinky old socks and
takes the time to interview other hikers on updates each year. She does
all the leg and phone work so each years new hikers don't have to spend
months hoping their cover all their bases. Along with the majority of the
PCT hikers, I value and appreciate all her hard work year after year.

If you don't like the lady...........don't buy her stuff.
