I am going to be hiking the Through hiking the AT with three people I have never hiked with before, Camp Counselor friends. But I know all of them have hiked at a distance before.
I am curious as to what you all would say on carrying gear. I am in the thought group to carry your own gear so if we get separated for a night or two.
My other hiking friends say we should stick together and share the weight.
What do you all think? BTW I am a Hammock hiker so no matter what I won't be sharing a tent.
