Hey guys, so I am new to hiking. I am in the Army and can usually Ruck March around 10 miles in a few hours time. My wife and I would like to start doing some 2, 3, or 4 day hikes around April on the Appalachian Trail in Georgia. We are ready to start buying gear, but really have no idea where to start, or what we would need. We are not wanting to spend a ton of money on gear either. Could someone help me with needed items and where to purchase them? Also, cna someone give me a good trip plan? Last question, if go one way for a few days, what is the prefered method to get back to the start, i.e. shuttle, 2 car, taxi? Thanks in advance.

Derrick
