Does anyone have any thoughts on Yogi’s handbook?
I have all the guide books. Is there any reason I would need this also?

I can’t believe this is even still a question for people. I found Yogi’s book to be EXTREMELY helpful. Especially with town stops. Also with water sources that the guide and data books overlooked. I know it seems like overkill, but it’s really only a few small pieces of paper. Get the book, you won’t regret it.

I agree with Ducky, Yogi’s book is great. I wish I had gotten it before I got all of the other books. You will probably fill the same if you get it.

Yogi’s book is well done, helpful, and very succinct. Get it, by all means, or you’ll be constantly asking all your fellow hikers what Yogi’s book says about every water supply, town, trail junction, etc… 
“Hello” to Ganj! Nice to see you’re hanging around here, too.

I bought my Yogi guide a couple of months ago just to have some inspiriation while I wait a couple of year til I can go. Its very well organized and well thought out with detachable worksheets and advice from veterans. Well worth the investment.:boy :cheers

Yogi’s handbook is NOT the Book of Lies…that title refers to another book, at one time considered a must for the trail. I understand that it’s still not bad, as Yogi has annotated her handbook to parallel both it and the official PCT trail guide so they can all be used together (Where there are contridictions, trust Yogi). Yogi updates the trail section of her handbook annually based on reports from the most current hikers throught the PCT. I don’t believe the PCTA has done that. After buying the handbook, you can just purchase the trail update section to stay aware of the latest information. That’s great for folk who intend to hike a year or two down the road. Buy the book…
