TIL the real reason for a zero day from a ranger in Yosemite
He told me, 'Your gear can handle 20 miles, but your mind needs a day to catch up,' after I pushed too hard on the JMT last fall. Anyone else have a trail lesson that changed how you plan a trip?

My buddy once ate a whole bag of psychedelic mushrooms and spent three hours talking to a tree on the PCT. That was his zero day.

Is that really a thing or just a nice saying? I've pushed through plenty of long days and just felt tired, not like my mind was lagging behind.
