I'm the source because I experienced this firsthand in 2007. I found the article because I needed to validate an almost 12 year old memory. :) As for the quote you picked out, it's a partial truth. The partial truth is that sure,

Oh wow, you're way overdue for new shoes. 300-500 miles is the usual rule of thumb[1]. My personal rule of thumb is 500 miles minus moving weight. So in my case I'm 225 lbs, I usually have 10 lbs of water/layers/kit,

If your RHR is elevated at high camp that's to be expected as that's part of the physiological response to reduced partial pressure of oxygen. If your RHR is still elevated after your return to sea level...huh. I live at 6800 fe

Yes! Solid point, and a great example of why there aren't RoTs for rivers. It can be a really complex problem. You can't go barefoot. Do you have camp shoes, will they work for the crossing? If you use your main shoes did you
