So I am looking for all the advice I can get. I am currently serving in the U.S. Army and will be getting out of the service mid 2013. I plan on getting home to New Jersey the old fashioned way, walking! I will be starting my trek in Georgia and plan on starting in November 2013. I know what some may think.....it's winter.....a little dumb. I was stationed in Alaska for 6 1/2 years and conducted many training operations exposed to the elements and temperatures as low as -25 for weeks at a time. I have also done many week long expeditions that required skills in arctic mountaineering and ice climbing to include over a year overseas walking the mountains of Afghanistan. I am doing this trek to help raise awareness of cancer and will be setting up fundraising in which all proceeds will go to the St. Jude Hospital for treatment and cure research. Now I want to do this in 60 days. Of course I know I can, but I am open for advice because I am not speaking from experience of this trail. I believe it's about 1200 miles to the New Jersey trail head that I will be exiting, then walking another 60 miles to my home town. I have started planning my load and am sitting at a comfortable 25lbs which includes 4 days of food. What kind of weather am I looking at during that time? I am used to Alaska winters until this one which has been spent living in mid-east Alabama. All advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
