Trail Designs congratulates Forry and Lichter on Winter Traverse of the PCT!
Oakhurst CA - March 1st, 2015 - On the afternoon of March 1st, Shawn (Pepper) Forry and Justin (Trauma) Lichter accomplished the first ever winter thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. In an astonishing 132 days, the pair covered the 2,650 miles from Canada to Mexico using a combination of skis, snowshoes, and traditional hiking. In planning for this record setting journey, the pair needed gear that was light weight, efficient, and above all reliable. When it came to selecting their cooking system, they chose the Trail Designs Sidewinder Ti-Tri for it's defense against the elements, and it's 3-fuel capability. When asked about their cooking system, they noted:
- Shawn (Pepper) Forry
