Summary
This is not a memoir. This is a practical how-to guide on thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. I set out to write a guide that I wish my pre-thru-hiking self had. The purpose of this book is to give you a realistic vision, help you prepare, and give you the extra motivation to plan and complete a successful thru-hike. Although this book was written with SOBOS in mind it doesn't mean it's not relevant to other thru-hikers. NOBOS, flip-floppers, and even section hikers can benefit from this book as well. What will this book teach you? - Why you should go Southbound, and why you shouldn't. - How to budget for a thru-hike and save money on the trail. - The "true" essentials, and what can be left at home. - How to get to Katahdin and prepare for the 100 Miles of Wilderness. - What it's like adapting to trail life. - What to expect when passing through all 14 States. - How many calories you will need a day and what to food to pack. - What the real dangers on the trail are, how to deal with them, and what dangers are overblown. - How to deal with the mental & physical game. and much more…
