    I'd suggest an extra bottle cap, never know when you'll drop one and step on it, or lose it while collecting water. Throw it in your hygiene or repair kit bag, oh, and have a repair kit.

      As always it's a personal choice. But what I've found is that most people that want an umbrella want to keep the sun off, primarily their head and shoulders. This means they have insufficient head cover. If people want to carry them I see no issue but I make better miles without messing with an umbrella and just wear a booney hat and good sunscreen. Umbrellas do come in handy when stationary though. Nothing like sitting in the blazing sun eating lunch and wishing you were under cover. For the PCT since you start in the spring, usually in NM, you have the coolest days in the hottest and most open areas so I suppose an argument can be made you don't really need it at all.

I'm down the PCT is in my back yard. I actually had to rescue my brothers because they got lost up in the marble mountains buy Castle lake. 😂 The sheriff's department actually came and got me so I could find these idiots😂😂 I'm actually currently living in Redding California and I'm going to explore everything that I can around here. But yes the force is my backyard I love the PCT the Appalachian trail all of those I've travelled all across the United States the only place I haven't been is to Hawaii😊
