  3. Preparation hike

    Win preparation for my AT hike I went for a 100 mile hike. Except it was only 90!! Haha. I wanted to be out for a couple days so that I could get used to my gear and the pains my body would go through. On one of my last days out there I noted a few observations.

    6. I eat less than I thought.. ...
