Back to Peter's Mountain Wilderness Trailhead

Note from Admin: We know that Fisher and Forest got up early this morning to catch the 7 a.m. shuttle back to Peter's Mountain Wilderness Trailhead, from where they had slackpacked back to Angel's Rest yesterday. From that point on, he has not been in contact. He noted in a recent video that it is going to take 3 headlamp batteries to be able to night-hike for 8 hours. Considering that his power pack only provides 7 charges, that would not be enough for this 5-day hike. He may have to mix day and night-hiking as originally planned (6-hour shifts), and will probably not be able to recharge his phone. We will provide blog updates as communications come through, hopefully before he reaches his next resupply point in Catawba.
