Not sure about the ATC, but the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club is. http://smile.amazon.com/ch/58-6134664

...considered essential to the AT experience ...



The first week on the trail during thru hiker season. That is an experience that should not be missed by anyone - whether you hike to whole...

best - A Walk in the Woods (the first half - toward the end I was ready to put it down)
don't want to put down - Then the Hail Came (can you put an online book down?)

I find the dog a very good way to get to the trail and back, but you won't arrive rested and ready to go. I don't usually do a zero, but I always plan a short day and an early camp on the first day...

Before I read Bryson's book (about 15 years ago) I had never been backpacking and I knew nothing about the AT. Since then I have spend many nights in the woods and have section hiked over 500 miles...

Can diet have something to do with it? I'm not over weight and take no medications, but I eat very different on the trail and off. I was planing to take a much longer hike now that I'm retired, but...

I'm 57 and had this same problem with a 100 mile hike in April. I have never had it before, but most of my hikes have been under 65 miles. I'm not sure if it's the extra miles or the extra years,...

I saw this movie and was not impressed. It is worth watching, and has some unique views. I especially liked dog cam - with the dogs eye view of the trail. I liked that he tried to show some of the...

Yes --- 10K saved the day. I'm still courious about Sutton. I hope he's ok.

I am ariving in Johnson City by greyhound Monday morning April 1. I had talked to Sutton Brown in mid Feb about a shuttle to Dennis Cove. I have been trying to get in touch with him for about a...

It looks like it is 14.82 - not free

If Warren would be willing to share that information, I'd love to see it.

I've only read about a dozen or so AT books, but the best I've read so far is online. Then The Hail Came. http://skwc.com/exile/Hail-nf.html

I think it’s a very impressive goal Joe. Until I read your post I’d never considered it, nor have I heard anyone else talk about it. I’m sure you’re correct - others have probably tried it and...

"without riding in a vehicle the entire length"

has that ever been done?

I also started at Springer and I‘m 5 years into the 30 year plan. The logistics get harder each year. I’m not sure it’s doable one week at a time - at least not while living in Louisiana. For...

I find it a little amusing that Miss Janet is asking the question “What does a hostel need to make it a good place for hikers?” She is an expert at making a hostel a good place for hikers!

Miss Janet's House was the best ...

If it's as good as bryson's - I'm buying it! I'll wait until Lone Wolf reads the book and post his review.

I might be waiting for a while ---

I deal with it by planning a hike. Everything from the logistics of getting there to the daily mileage and camping spots. I hate following a schedule, so I don’t take the plan with me when I hike,...

In this thread there are several mentions of the former owner of WB, but no name. Is there a reason no name is given? Just curious …..

I have both and have used both in temps as low as 12 to 15 degrees. Both provide adequate insulation from the cold. The thermarest is lighter and self inflating where my BA is not. The Big Agnes...

My guess is Erwin -

The extreme highs and lows on the trail, and how they are controlled by the weather – not the change in elevation.
