Glad he's alive, can't fathom why he'd leave his family hanging like that.

Rude, This comment is nothing more bullying and I bet you wouldn't say it to his face would you?

I met Patrick Friday at 4 pines and he was alive and well. He was very happy and smiled the whole time. He had lost a significant amount of weight while on the trail and we enjoyed a cup of coffee and conversation while I waited for my friend to arrive. The man is 31 years old, if he wants to up and hit the trail that is his prerogative.

No doubt his prerogative but file a flight path or something.

We all have different relations on the family side of things. But yes I can see where just dropping a car, and not letting family and friends know what I'm doing isn't the nicest thing to do for them. I simple "hey everyone I'm hitting the AT for an unknown amount of time I have happy and well!" would go along way.
