Starting my thru Feb 14th, 2013:
I just want to get some opinions from you vets so i feel comfortable my gear is sufficient enough to keep me warm though the early months of the year since im starting in Febuary. Im in great shape and do hikes with at least a 4000+/4000- elevation change over at least 8 mile's everyday with a full pack to keep myself fit for the trail. My only concerns are the cold, not getting enough sleep, and re-supply. Im totally winging it and just taking the A.T. Guide and a smartphone with me, but will rely on communicating with other hikers if i need to ask for help first, im just not too sure how many hiker's will be around in late Febuary. I'll be going alone.
