    Yes, I hate to break it to you but you are crazy. Only 1 out of 60 people survive the Appalachian trail. Think about your family and give up this foolishness.

    I don't cook, too much of a hassle after a long day of hiking. I'm just as content eating out of a jar of peanut butter.

    I called amtrak and they called some other people and they just said there was nothing they can do. The whole ticket was forfeited.

    Zpacks Arc Haul vs other?
