Hi guys/gals,
Just wanted to pick your brains on a few questions. My son (12), myself and two other friends are going to leave Springer mid July and hike to Woody. We are planning 2 and 1/2 days to complete it. I have never done anything quite like this. We are going to use hammocks and have invested in some quality gear that is really lightweight. We are going to use Mountain House foods and use homemade alcohol stoves. We have backpacks with interior frames. We are planning to hike in shoes and shorts. We are bringing sleeping bags still as hammocks can get cool at night. We will be using 2L water bladders and a 32 oz gatorade bottle to haul a little extra from the springs. We plan to stay at Hawk and Gooch and get water there. Is there anything it sounds like we are missing or aren't planning for appropriately? I have hunted all my life and been outdoors all my life, but one thing we don't have in south GA really is bears and I have no idea what to do to stay safe with that. So any thoughts any of you would share?
Thanks,
Wes
