I hiked with a kid last year who never hiked a day in his life and he used the Contrail and was fine. Tarp tents are easy to set up.

Like the 2 above me posted, I have a TarpTent Sublite Sil for sale, brand new. Check out the post:

I use a hammock and I love it. If you have any questions about hammocking feel free to ask.

Yeah I'm going to do the approach. I wasn't going to but I recently decided to do it. I did it last year so I wasn't going to but I figured why not. Are you planning on doing it? I'm excited to...

I used the Contrail for 780 miles on the AT last year and loved it. Packs down small, weighs 1.5 pounds, lots of room inside and a big vestibule as well. Worked well with condensation as well if...

Had to stop last year in Glasgow, VA due to financial issues, so this year I'm getting to Katahdin!

ULA Circuit. Best pack ever! GAME 2013 leggooooo!!!!

Have you tried preparation H yet? Lol. Preparations are going well. Can't wait to get out there this April. Anyone else using a ULA Circuit?

I have a Black Diamond Beta Mid and the Beta Floor for sale for $160 as a set. Used only 4 nights. Floor and Tarp are 100% seam sealed.

Beta Mid retails at $150
Beta Floor retails at $70...

Thanks for the advice! I like that idea a lot. I'm going to start getting things together and start working on the details. Thanks for the suggests so far.

Thanks for the positive feedback, and thank you for your service. It does mean a lot to me. I will hopefully see you out there! When in April were you planning on leaving?

Haha sorry man, it was hard to see through all the negativity. Thanks for the idea though, I will definitely give that a shot as well!

I was able to lower my loans down from $650 to $500 with something called Graduated Repayment. I wil have no problem saving for the trail. Funding a thru-hike and a charity hike is the same thing. ...

Thanks for the one positive feedback on here.

I have a job...and why are people trying to make this seem like a bad thing? The money is going to go directly to the WWP. I'm hiking in the woods. It's a normal thru-hike. I'm not doing anything...

My question was asked in regard to your per mile to Katahdin statement.

I will say however, I am a bit confused on your statement that you now have plenty of money to finish a thru hike. It was...

Thanks everyone for sounding so supportive. So if someone tries to do something good you automatically assume the worst? Thanks everyone

April 2013 I am setting out to thru-hike the AT. I attempted a thru-hike this past year but had to get off the trail in Glasgow, VA because I ran out of money because I budgeted incorrectly. I've...

If anyone knows Baltimore Jack, this post would've become the craziest post on White Blaze. If anyone sees him on trail this year ask him what defines a thru-hike. Haha should be an interesting...

Yes my mom did, but I don't want to ask her to pay while I'm away. I know I can cover the loans so it's no problem. If worst comes to worst, I have a low interest credit card that I will have on me...

Haha this post went in a totally different direction than I imagined. I have no problem paying $650 a month and I definitely don't have any intentions of committing fraud to pay them off lol. I'm...

And culinary degree from the culinary Institute of America. 40k. At least it's easy to find a job with my degree
