guides

[Peanut]

I like guides and would like to carry them. I ordered the Data book, the Companion, and the Thruhiker Handbook. I realize the Handbook is a melding of the other 2...and all three are a lot to carry. Is the Handbook enough (for those of you who like guidebooks-I know some don't carry any)...thanks!!

Either the Handbook or the Companion is all you will need. Take whichever one you like better.

I preferred the companion myself. But this year, Appalachian Pages looks good too.
