Gavin Johnston, Missing from the PCT and Helpful #MissingHiker Tips.

Gavin Johnston, 28, was last seen on the Pacific Crest Trail on 10/18/2018.

Please use the following link for updates:  https://www.facebook.com/Find-Gavin-Johnston-missing-from-the-Pacific-Crest-Trail-WA-2141098792639233/

Additionally, this page is doing something very useful this that I think would be helpful for other #MissingHiker groups/pages/posts/news announcements.

They have a very detailed account of the gear this man was carrying at the time of his disappearance.

Why is this helpful?

Well, the PCT isn't as popular as the AT, and if you spot someone else with "too much" of the EXACT SAME GEAR, that's enough for any rational person to be alarmed and contact authorities. Alternately, in the worst case scenario, if remains turn up and these items are within a reasonable distance, it helps to identify the body.
