I got an email that mine is on the way and I was really hoping I'd get it today, but......
On the plus side, if it comes tomorrow it will probably be in the company of a small package fro REI.

Almost all of the information you need can be found online.

I think the guidebooks are good if you are looking for info about where to bail on the trail or find shuttles for town time. New hikers too.

Just carry your phone (using a real provider) and a piece of paper with the mileages on it... like they have on summit post. No reason to ever carry excess imo.

This is literally all I have ever needed for over 900 miles on the AT

Got mine yesterday in the loose leaf version. Together with Guthooks AT Guide I should be all set for March 2016 departure.

I got the loose leaf version, took out the pages that cover my 770 mile section this spring, from Harpers Ferry to Rutland Vt.

I just got back from Staples where they spiral bound it for me.

Still waiting for my SOBO edition. He does it after the NOBO, but I hope it comes soon.

So jealous reading this thread. Wish I could start again this year but I'll have to wait a few more for a second thru attempt. At least I can hike the Ga section again with my big brother in a few months. :)
