This summer, two young Pacific Crest Trail thru-hikers are picking up trash as they go, up to 1,000 pounds of cleared litter a goal during the multi-month trip.
Called the ‘Packing It Out’ project, two men in their early 20s are two months into the PCT hike, a 2,560-mile journey from Mexico to Canada, through deserts, mountains, and forests. This video gives a glimpse at what it’s like to hike day in and day out, picking up the trash they see along the way.

The original GearJunkie video, shot by Wild Confluence Media, and in partnership with REI, offers a ‘day in the life’ of the Packing It Out team along a desert section in California.
‘Packing It Out’
Seth ‘Cap’ Orme and Paul ‘Spice’ Twedt (pictured below) are the founders of the ‘Packing It Out’ initiative, which they formed in 2014 in preparation of a trash-clearing hike on the Appalachian Trail.
