    DATTO’S AT THRU-HIKING TIPS

    Addendum Made 12/26/03 -- Added a section up-front in the list on Clothes for a thru-hike that I'd written earlier in 2003 and just re-discovered..<o></o>

    Addendum Made 12/25/03 -- I knew there was some group of thru-hiking tips that I'd forgotten to include in the compilation of tips I'd posted earlier. Finally ran across that set today – it’s the tips I’d sent in on Independence Day. So...I'll put those tips in first below for those of you upcoming AT thru-hikers who've already read the previous compilation.<o></o>

    BE FOREWARNED: THIS IS A LONG POST!

    Back before our thru-hike, I compiled this for the many people in my life who had no clue what we were about to undertake. So what follows is a VERY basic overview of some general trail advice that someone new to hiking could perhaps benefit from. I was doing some computer clean-up last night and found it. I post it here as a general guideline for people who come to whiteblaze to obtain information on their newfound hobby of backpacking, even though many will not agree with some of the ideas (ie, please withhold criticism). I simply cut and pasted it from a word document, so the format may be a little weird, but I tried to clean it up as much as possible. The original document had more information and also many tables, pictures, figures, and appendices, which I have not included. Its simply stripped down to text (minus a few other sections) for the most part. My hope is that the new hiker may perhaps find something beneficial in the process. Happy hiking!__________________________________________________ _________
