I'm kind of curious... How has WB contributed to your successful thru-hike (or any hike)?
I'm planning a 2005 hike and so far WB has helped me shave 20 lbs from my base weight and I'm still not done cutting the weight. If I succeed, I know I'll have many WB users to thank!
So, how about you all? :jump

Nope. It's made me a fat, lazy, wannabe cyber hiker. I'm a pathetic POS. :o

LOL... Sounds like a bad infomercial for real-estate sales.
"I never hiked a day in my life, but thanks to the WhiteBlaze hiking experts, I was able to thru-hike the AT three times in one year - WITH NO MONEY DOWN!" :banana
but WAIT, there's MORE!!!!!
Order now and get a free FLOWBEE and a set of Ginsu Knives

I'll vary from the responses so far and give you a serious answer. I was really helped by White Blaze. There's a lot of information here. I was able to considerably trim my pack weight.
I live right up I 16 from you. e mail me if you want to talk further or spend a couple of days on the Georgia AT.

Reading the posts here helped me know what to expect and helped select equipment. It helped lead me to the Nomad tent, reassured me that canisters are available for Pocket Rocket stoves, gave ideas on what to eat and where to stay....... I could go on and on. The only source equal to this is reading all the online journals available.

I had never even heard of hammock camping before WB... that alone has completely changed the face of my upcoming thru-hike.
