It's mosquitoes here (WA) that are the big problem early in the summer. Haven't found anything that lasts effectively on the animals more than 24 hrs, have gone back to Ultrashield which is what I was using on the horses. I carry 100% Deet for myself + a headnet & wear long sleeves/pants.
re: crazy - well I was probably thinking more of what I didn't write about, like packing a 1.5 oz garbage bag instead of an 8 oz jacket
I also have an idea I am accumulating parts for, modifying the goat saddlebags for more airflow...
re: PCT - have a couple of friends who have hiked the whole thing, plus on Wed night was talking with a friend who completed most of the WA section this summer - he did an impressive amount of detailed trip planning. He also said while his mind was still in his 20's - his body most definitely was not lol! Every ounce does count.
Good luck with your trip planning.
